Unity HoloLens App is executed as Windows App instead of AR

I am building a HoloLens Unity App using the following tools

  • Unity 2018.3.14f1
  • Visual Studio 2017
  • Microsoft.MixedReality.Toolkit.Unity.Foundation-v2.0.0-RC1-Refresh.unitypackage (MRToolkit v2)

Unity Project/Scene Configuration

  • Target Platform: Universal Windows Platform
  • Target Device: HoloLens
  • Architecture: x86
  • Target SDK Version: Latest
  • Target Platform Version: 10.0.10240.0

Target Platform Settings

  • Supported Device Family: Holographic
  • XR Settings: VR Support (unchecked); WSA Holographic Remoting Support (uncheck)
  • Other Settings:

How I deployed:

  1. Added Open Scene
  2. Build
  3. Open *.sln file
  4. Set 'Universal Windows' project as default project.
  5. Updated [Machine Name/IP] for remote execution
  6. Run/Start the project using 'Remote Device' (HoloLens 1)
    • deployment package was successful
  7. BUT instead of having a CUBE floating in real world, hololens displayed the App as a Windows App.

Did I miss some incorrect configuration?

Under Target Platform maybe? MRToolkit settings? Platform Settings? UWP Settings?

And also i can't find any documentation on how to do a deployment using the latest MRToolkit v2 TO A HOLOLENS 1 DEVICE. If you can share some links it would be great as well

Thank you in advance.

Solution

  • You did miss some configuration! You forgot to enable the XR mode in the player settings. In Edit > Project Settings > Player The last option is the XR Settings there you need to set Virtual Reality Supported to true and check you have Windows Mixed Reality as the Virtual Reality SDKs
