What device information can I access from the Hololens at run time? (OS Level, Serial Code etc)

What device information can I access from the Hololens at run time using MRTK?

Can MRTK determine a unique identifier for each Hololens device that runs my program? Ideally this would be a serial code, but any other unique identifier from the device would be useful.

I am trying to determine ways to track how many unique devices are running my program, as well as how often they run it.

I am aware that using a managed device might be one way to do this, but I am curious if there is any way to get such information without needing to set up ID Management.

Solution

  • You can use the instance of the EasClientDeviceInformation to get device information from the local device. The property Id provides the identifier of the local device. you can use the following code:

    using Windows.Security.ExchangeActiveSyncProvisioning;
. . .
EasClientDeviceInformation deviceInfo = new EasClientDeviceInformation();
var deviceIdentifier = deviceInfo.Id;

    In addition, you can retrieve more device information through other properties of the instance, a specific sample is provided here: Client Device Information sample.
