Windows 10 SDK (if you didn’t already install it with Visual Studio 2015).Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 (Community Edition).You will use these alongside the SDK and emulator. There are two main tools you need to create holographic experiences - Visual Studio 2015 and Unity 3D. I ended up using HoloLens runs Windows 10, apps are built for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which means that UWP apps written for mobile devices, desktops, Xbox and other platforms will also run on HoloLens. Using the system File Browser to manually open the PDF from within the system automatically uses Edge and opens the file as expected, which is the behaviour I would like to copy from within Unity. The PDF is stored on the local file system under 'Documents'.Īs mentioned, the file is accessible and can be opened by Edge.

I suspect, that it doesn't work because Edge is not setup to be the default app for PDF files, but when using the button within Edge to make it the default app, it just tells me that it failed and I can't find any other way to achieve that.ĭoes anyone else have an idea how I would be able to load Edge from within an Unity app and providing the path to my pdf file so it automatically loads on a button press? Entering the file path manually into the browser window to load the pdf also works, but launching the Browser by directly providing the full path to my file, does not open any browser window. Launching the Edge Browser with a website as the string, works. Var absolutePath = Path.Combine(_myDocuments, _subfolder) ĪbsolutePath = Path.Combine(absolutePath, _fileName) I expected using LaunchUri would open the file from a provided location public void Launch() I want to use the integrated Edge Browser, that is able to load within the app and to run simulatenously.Įdge by itself is also able to load pdf files. I'm trying to open a PDF within a Unity app deployed to a Microsoft Hololens 2 using the MRTK.
