• Save the changes and deploy the solution to your HoloLens 2.

Use in your app

• Instanciate the SolARHololens2ResearchMode object by calling its default constructor.
• Start by calling the Enable*() methods corresponding to the sensors to be used and then Init(), in your Start() method for example
• Call Update() periodically to fetch new frames
• Frame data are returned by calling the Get*Data() methods for each sensor.
