    Hello,

    I am a new user to Unity and was wondering if somebody could help me. I downloaded the Unity script provided in the forum to allow for HoloLens input in the UI. In the emulator I am able to input as a Keyboard / Mouse input, but when in Human mode I can not get the pop-up keyboard for Text Fields like IE Edge by hovering over the field and pressing "Enter" to simulate a air tap gesture.

    The script I am using is from http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-ui-on-the-hololens.394629/.

    Thanks,
    Chris Zenzel

    Hello,

    The HoloLens use unity mobile keyboard, and the keyboard is designed to work in XAML apps.

    Here is a link to the Unity API:
    http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/MobileKeyboard.html

    In a scene have script that opens the mobile keyboard, you can rig it for voice or gesture tap.
    Attach script to a game object in the scene.
    Build the scene for the HoloLens as a XAML App and not a D3D.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Thank you,
    Wesley

    Hi @Unity_Wesley ,

    Sorry to revive an old thread. I just grabbed the latest version of the HoloLens Unity beta (and also purchased Unity Plus).

    I just started to implement the text field in a real application and my next issue I am having is that when I select the text field (while the app is compiled with XAML) the application opens another XAML window to the side with a text box and submit button and crashes with a memory error (writing to memory) in Visual Studio on the actual device.

    I don't know if there is something I could be missing or if anybody else had this issue.

    Edit (7/3/2016 7 AM):

    Here is the error I am receiving in Debug Mode on the Device:

    An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in UnityEngineProxy.dll
    Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

    Thanks,
    Chris Zenzel
