New manager? Admire how veteran leaders handle tough convos, and feel like you're not "fluent" in the same language🤔? You're not alone. Books and training teach rules, but don't train your brain. That's where practice comes in. Details in our latest blog: managerspring.com/blog/manag… #Leadership #NewManager #LeadershipCoaching

We launched this first for Quest Pro last year, I'm really proud of the team for pulling off being able to bring this to Quest 2 users! Being able to quickly look up a game tip or message friend while playing VR is awesome.

As some of you have started to notice, we're rolling out a direct touch experiment with v50. It's a massive step forward in Hands usability in the Shell. It's powered by the Interaction SDK, so you can easily build the same interactions in your app. reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/com…

$1B is great, but details are more important. Dev success on Quest is very broad:
8 titles have made over $20M in gross revenue
14 titles > $10M
17 titles > $5M
More than 120 titles have generated revenue in the millions—that’s 2x more than the figure we shared last year.

Rolling out Interaction SDK to devs with the latest update. We've already seen developers like @ChessClubVR use it to improve their grabbing mechanic and I'm excited to see what other devs will do with Interaction SDK developer.oculus.com/blog/pr…

There are several technical directions we’re pursuing in our efforts to build @RealityLabs operating systems, we’re still working on a highly specialized OS for our devices – we remain very much invested in this work and continue to dedicate the resources necessary to build this

Make a good first impression with an instant, peak-quality splash screen. Don't render a traditional splash screen at all; spend all your CPU time getting the actual loading done ASAP.
Introducing Instant Runtime-driven Splash Screens. Get people into your Quest apps faster than ever. Check out our blog post for how to implement: ocul.us/SplashScreens
