Hello everyone.
The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.
There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Can HoloLens recognize a specific device (tube lights, fans etc.)
The app will recognize a specific device and show menu to perform different operations. Please advise how it can be done?

Check the iOT forums how to connect the home automation/smartdevices to windows 10. There are 2 standards which I can not recall the names now.
For HLens to recognize a specific device - you can use computer vision techniques to recognize shapes and rudimentary objects like tables, chairs, balls, and most likely fans etc. However to recognize more specific things light tube lights compared to some other light will require custom Machine Learning algorithms that you and your team must figure out.
You can use Open CV with C# to handle the object recognition.
As far as connecting to IOT, @HoloDevices is speaking of AllJoyn, Z-Wave, MQTT, CoAP, there's too many to list.

Thanks Dwight. missed "obj recognition".
Thanks for advise.
At the moment, we do not have HoloLens device and expecting to receive it in a couple of weeks. So just wondering if HoloLens can read a QR code from distance around 10 meters.
As Dwight suggested, we would be looking into custom Machine Learning Algorithm. But just to start, we may club QR code scanning with shape recognition.
Also, please comment if this will be a nice idea?
The Vuforia SDK may help. The related website is here
