Is it possible to create UI element with Unity's UI Toolkit for Hololens 2?

Question

Hi,

In my project, I have created UI elements with the UI Toolkit from Unity.

Now I want to get this working on the Hololens 2.
However, when I run it, the UI elements are not visible.
But in Unity you can see them in the player view and everything works fine.

Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

To make the UI elements under the Unity Canvas work on the HoloLens, please follow these steps:

1. Select Canvas object in your scene, then in the Inspector panel for your Canvas, click "Convert to MRTK Canvas"
2. Click "Add NearInteractionTouchableUnityUI"
3. Set the Rect Transform component's X, Y, and Z scale to 0.001

If you're new to MRTK or Mixed Reality development in Unity, we recommend you start with this doc: What is the Mixed Reality Toolkit
