Use anchors to share holograms

Note

This article relates to the legacy WinRT native APIs. For new native app projects, we recommend using the OpenXR API.

A shared experience is one where multiple users with their own HoloLens, iOS, or Android device, collectively view and interact with the same hologram. The hologram is positioned at a fixed point in space using spatial anchor sharing.

This article provides a brief introduction to local anchors.

Local anchor transfers

Local anchor transfers enable one HoloLens device to export an anchor to be imported by a second HoloLens device. Android and iOS devices are not supported by this approach.
