    Using MRTK2 how do I get a reference to the currently active PokePointer(s) in order to change the fingertip visualization (FingerCursor prefab) at the moment of touching? The current solid white circle at the moment and during touch is obscuring details behind the circle. My first approach would be to disable the meshrenderer on the IndexFingerRing. But I am currently at a loss as how to get a reference to that item.

    Cheers

    As usual the answer revealed itself within moments after posing the question. More or less by accident I discovered where the run time objects are being instantiated: below the MixedRealityPlayspace in case you're wondering. Knowing that; I added a tag to the IndexFingerRing part of the prefab which allowed me to find it and it's MeshRenderer component. Switching it off is the easy solution but I also discovered that I could have set the thickness of the ring to zero through the use of MaterialPropertyBlocks. Live and learn!

    Glad you found a way, I'll have to take note of that solution myself :)
