Spawn Holograms in different rooms?

Is it possible to read in the entire spatial map that someone has made of their area (home, office, etc) and spawn a hologram in a room the user is not presently residing in?

For example - the wearer starts in their kitchen and opens the app. They have used the hololens in their bedroom before and the map exists - can I spawn something in that room they are not in so when they walk into the bedroom it's there?

  • @runamuck I personally have not done this but something that comes to mind is, Unity has a NavMesh concept and perhaps that could be leveraged here to know where the user is.

  • @ahillier Thank you! I will work with this to see how I get along. Very helpful.

    Do you think it's possible to simulate this with the emulator? I know when you load the emulator you need to pick a sample "room". Doesn't seem like it has multiple "rooms"?
