What's up with the distance/scale in Unity vs. HoloLens emu/device?
I have a really simple 3 cube test at 5 unit increments from the main camera. In Unity, it shows 3 cubes as expected. In the emulator/on device, the cubes appear way closer than I believe they should. It was my understanding that 1 unit in Unity equated to 1 meter in the pesky real world. Is this accurate?
I'm clearly missing something fundamental. 
Here's my simple test project

Some others may have more specifics on scale, but here's a tip that'll make the transition from unity to emulator or device easier.
Set the FOV on your unity camera to 16, that'll give you the same viewable area as the HoloLens in the editor. No need to change it to deploy, HoloLens will take care of that for you. Helped me quite a bit with issues of "fit" with the real world.6

Thanks @DeckTwelve -- that seems to help though feel likes a hack. Have you seen any documentation on what this FOV value should be?
