How to keep other applications visible while yours is running ?
Hi,
I am writing an app on the HoloLens that I would like to work like the internet browser.
That is to keep the other apps open/visible while mine is running.
But I cannot figure out how to do that.
Is there a specific setting to use to let the HoloLens know that the app is not 'exclusive'.
Thanks.

@ideki are you creating a 2D XAML UWP app?
The current app model support 2D apps remaining open/visible with other apps in the shell. But 3D volumetric apps (like the one you would make with Unity) take over with their own Holographic 3D volumetric view when they run.

I am creating a Unity3d app (3d Volumetric) so it is not possible.
Too bad HoloLens does not let us do that considering that the holograms can.
Maybe in a future update.
Thanks for the answer
