How to determine if app is running on HoloLens

We would like to know in our code if an app is running on a HoloLens device or any other platform, like a surface tablet. Is there a #define or runtime check we could use for that?

We thought about using VR.WSA.WorldManager.state and checking if it is Activating or Active. Is that the best and most reliable way to do that?

 

Thanks Tautvydas, we'll use that.
Since our code is also running on platforms that support other VR SDKs (e.g. Oculus), We need to check for the device name as well. I noticed that the device type enum has been deprecated in 5.4, so I'm using VRSettings.loadedDeviceName.Equals("HoloLens"). That seems to work for now.
My only question is whether this will work on future Windows holographic devices from other OEMs?

 

Hi, sorry to necro this thread.

I'm trying to find if the app is running on HoloLens or in the desktop but seems like using the loadedDeviceName always return WindowsMR on desktop (using the Odyssey) and on the HoloLens... Any way to know which setup we are like MR, AR, VR?

edit:
Also tried the SystemInfo.deviceType but it seems like the HoloLens is considered a Desktop so I still can't differentiate between the PC and the HoloLens using this variable.

 

Ah, that's perfect, I will take a look!

Thanks @Tautvydas-Zilys.

 

This link is broken. I need to find a way to distinguish between Hololens 1 and Hololens 2. For performance reason, I need to be able to identify between these two devices. Using Windows.Graphics.Holographic.HolographicDisplay will not help because it would return true for both Hololens 1 and Hololens 2.
