I'm currently designing a Hololens application and I'm pretty new to everything. The menu right now seems a little "old-school" for my taste. I'd like to create a user-friendly menu that could be pinned in place or move around as the user wishes.
I've been checking out fluent designs and found the DesignLab toolkit (https://unitylist.com/p/19/MR-Design-Labs-Unity) but its from 2017. Is there anything new I could use to make my menus?
Check out the PressableButton.prefab in MRTK. This aligns pretty exactly with the system style and fluent design. There's documentation here: https://microsoft.github.io/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/Documentation/README_Button.html
It's relatively easy to use the same materials and shaders to create a background panel for text or other things that aren't buttons.
Keep an eye out for how the shader reacts when MRTK's simulated hand approaches it. There's a lot of cool reactive fluent elements there.
