About
The About tab includes system information and a button for replaying the Guided Tour:
- Version: Version number of the application installed
- Frame Rate: Current frame rate for the device, which is used as a measure of system performance (the HoloLens targets 60 FPS for Hologram stability while the Magic Leap targets upwards of 90 FPS)
- Memory Used: Current memory usage by the application. If the application uses too much memory, it can cause the application to become unresponsive. In the case that too much memory is being used, consider restarting the application. It also can be used as an indicator that 3D Models, photos, or videos include resources that are larger than is recommended for the device. For example, this could show that a 3D model has textures that are too large in pixel count and are taking a very large of memory when loaded
- Threads Used: Current thread usage by the application.
- Guided Tour: Select the play button to manually start the Manifest Guided Tour
