I think the Angle C# community would welcome the following templates
App for OpenGL ES (Universal Windows) Visual C#
XAML App for OpenGL ES (Universal Windows) Visual C#
Holographic App for OpenGL ES (Universal Windows) Visual C#
Preparation of these templates will help Angle c# programmers
(1) to explore new ways to develop hybrid UWP (planar/3D) holographics App discussed here.
(2) to develop a better understanding of how the Holographics DirectX [SharpDX] approach is different from OpenGL ES approach, thereby help us to understand and to anticipate what additional challenges ahead in bringing Hololens Angle library to a release version.
=> Comparison between the "Holographic DirectX 11 App (C# UWP)" template and the Angle's "Holographic App for OpenGL ES (C++ UWP)" template reveal interesting Interop learning points
// eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT is an alternative to eglGetDisplay. It allows us to pass in display attributes, used to configure D3D11.PFNEGLGETPLATFORMDISPLAYEXTPROC eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT = (PFNEGLGETPLATFORMDISPLAYEXTPROC)OpenGLES.eglGetProcAddress("eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT");
SpatialInputHandler.cs is available in the SharpDX example, which would also be of interest to both Holographic C++ and C# OpenGL ES developers.
=> Having C# OpenGL ES templates will make it easier for Xamarin iOS and Android OpenGL developers to start experimenting with the Hololens Universe.
With effort made by @mattleibow at github and Stackoverflow
