Quote from Vuforia's vumark manual
Note that the Unity HoloLens Technical Preview does not currently support Vuforia’s Play Mode simulator. You’ll need to deploy your apps to a device to run your HoloLens scenes.
Alternatively you can develop your scene in another version of Unity that supports Play Mode and then migrate it to the HTP edition when you’re ready to deploy to HoloLens.
That means Unity Android play etc

See Thread Difficulty uploading Vuforia 6 sample Project
Thanks for the answer. It would be helpful if you can point me to some sample/example or at least the direction by which I can create a Hololens example for scanning a QR code or Marker pasted on the product and it will give some stats/3d bar while gazing on it.
I don't know if you searched for Barcode threads. Mainly this thread QR code detection
The real problem for me is that Locatable Camera in Unity and Locatable Camera
has to be integrated into the Unity Asset Store QR Code/Barcode Scanner and Generator---Cross Platform.
I have not got HoloLens device and cannot really justify purchase of software, though seems easy to do, but you cannot test in HoloLens Emulator.
Lots of people seem to be waiting for a similar app, but contact author for commercial rights.
