Holographic Remoting to multiple HoloLenses using Unity

I am looking for a way to build a Unity application that allows multiple users to see (and at least one of them interact with) the same hologram. I am using the MRTK for user interaction.

When using the UnityEngine.XR.WSA.HolographicRemoting class, it seems I can only establish a single connection to a HoloLens. (The class is used in Microsoft's tutorials, for example here)

I am now wondering if it is at all possible to connect multiple HoloLenses to a single Unity application. I tried looking into implementing a custom remoting app as described here, but my C++ knowledge is too limited to assess if it's even possible.

If it's not possible I would also welcome any suggestion on how to attempt this otherwise.

Edit: It also seems like the class mentioned above is not compatible with Unity's new XR Plug-In Management. It does not recognize Holographic Remoting being enabled in the Plug-In settings. I couldn't find another (new) implementation to use Remoting via script.

Edit 2: I failed to mention, that I absolutely need to use Remoting, because the content I want to display is too detailed for the Hololens to handle itself. So basically I am looking for a way to combine Remoting and Sharing in a nice way.

It seems like you want to share experiences and each user has his/her own perspective on the holograms in the scene and can each interact with the holograms. If so, Holographic Remoting does not match your request, it isn't an aim at share experience.

To create shared experiences to let multiple users collectively view and interact with the same hologram, you need to leverage Azure Spatial Anchors for local users and Photon SDK for syncing the content/state in the scene. For documentation, have a look at Multi-user capabilities tutorials

If you just want to enable other devices to see what the HoloLens sees from a different perspective in the same location, and receive updates on interactions of the host HoloLens user interacting with the holograms, please see:Spectator View
