HoloLens 2 switched to <strike>Android</strike> ARM and UWP apps running on heavily modified Android, but imo the insistence on hand tracking as the primary interface still walled it off from the other Android XR developer communities.

HoloLens 2 did not switch to Android. I have one and it is uwp and unity/unreal.

What? No it doesn't, HoloLens 2 runs "Windows Holographic" which is based on Windows Core OS.

Yeah y'all are right, I can't find anything to support the notion the HoloLens 2 uses an Android fork for its OS. (Possibly the person who told me this had it confused with Magic Leap...?)
