How to make a 2D window (menu) on Hololens app
Hi everyone
I'm searching how to do a 2D window, in a 3D Hololens app, like the principal Hololens menu.
In fact I want to display a window with articles after doing an action. But i don't know how to make this window.
Do you know if this menu have been made with unity3D and differents gameobjects or if it's a xaml window ?
Thanks!

You should be able to use a Panel object and just place it in your scene. It isn't exactly the same as the way the HoloLens desktop does this, but should do the trick. Bruno has a good tutorial on this: https://elbruno.com/2016/10/25/hololens-creating-a-menu-with-options-with-holotoolkit/
