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.

Re: Way to convert .ply to .xef
.xef is a format we use internally. It was used in Kinect. The .xef format allows us to contain abstract streams. It is highly unlikely that any conversion tool you find would support going from .ply to the right stream format for the room simulation in the emulator. That being said, you can use your HoloLens to capture… -
Re: World Anchor question
Thank you Stepan for your long and informative comment. I know it's very challenging to use stereographic and polychromatic content only to locate where you are. Thomas Whelan, amongst others has done some great stuff on the Kinect device doing 3D surveying of buildings. The accuracies he gets are quite awesome. When you… -
Re: Can't see custom holograms in Shared Experience
@jackson7, It's actually a lot more manual than you'd think. Look in the CustomMessages class to see how sharing service is used to send info back and forth between devices. You'll still have to handle what your messages mean and what to do when they are received, though. This article provides some overview of what's… -
Re: Improvements that most people WANT. (POSSIBLY)
1) I just want it to have kinectv2 functionality. Skeletal tracking and a coordinate mapper to utilize the depth/user/color buffers like we get with kinect. Would take this thing to a whole new level. 2) usb 3 support, let us extend the device with arduinos, sensors, etc whatever we dream of without having to build some… -
Re: Intel MB and CPU combo for Hololens Dev?
I don't have an answer for you but if I've tested emulator development on various amd and intel chipsets. As long as you have enough power to run the emulator you're set. There is no remote rendering needed for the lens since its self contained. Unlike the Kinect, you don't need anything really special on your pc. There is… -
Re: Detecting Humans - Spatial Mapping
Microsoft Research has a demo for Holoportation, and although they do use a Hololens for playback, my guess is that the multiple Kinect sensors setup around the room are doing all of the heavy lifting for detecting, and recording. I don't think it's impossible with the current API, but probably difficult without any tools.… -
Create your own room for HoloLens Emulator?
I know in the emulator you have different room options but I want a room that is completely empty. I've tried to see if I could somehow edit the files of the room but I can't open xef files. If I wanted to create a room, would I need to used something Like Kinect Studio? I can make a simple 3d model of a blank room but I… -
Re: Verified Working Laptops and Configurations for Mixed Reality Devices
Hi @SteveS, I am from the Microsoft team. Is your problem listed on the troubleshooting page? (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/troubleshooting_windows_mixed_reality) I think the registry hack being referenced above is to skip the PC check and is not related to "error 1". There is another… -
Re: Viewing colored 3D models on the hololens
@HTheDream Update 20th December 2016 Windows Creator Update preview (build 14971) has updated 3D apps. STL and OBJ will always be single colour. Therefore use 3MF or Autodesk public .FBX (Unity compatible) needs to be used for colour. 3D Builder has been updated and is now available on HoloLens. 3D Scan for Kinect 2 has… -
Re: Mapping Small Objects
The raw depth data are the only solution. The fatal bad luck of HoloLens team is the decision to omit the API for raw depth data stream. The team from Kinect did not recognize the 30+ years long existing industrial demands from other than games. For game, spatial mapping may be enough. For robot, raw depth data are…
