Spatial Mapping in practice
Here, we will put the Spatial Mapping prefab into our application and set up the Spatial Mapping model that we imported in the preceding section. This will allow us to see Spatial Mapping at work inside the Unity Editor without having to go back and forth to the HoloLens.
In your Project View, go to the HoloToolkit
| Spatial Mapping
| Prefabs
directory and click on the Spatial Mapping
prefab and drag it to the Hierarchy view and release it.

If you look at the Inspector now, you should see a Game Object with three main components: the Spatial Mapping Observer...
