Excited to share what I've been working on @unitygames! If you're building mixed or virtual reality content or interested in porting existing content to @Apple Vision Pro apply to Unity’s beta program at unity.com/spatial to learn more!

OpenXR 1.1.49 just dropped! It has a _whole_ pile of cross-vendor extensions too! Spatial entity, spatial anchor, spatial plane tracking, spatial marker tracking, and render model!
It's a good day to be working with OpenXR :)

Can't believe this #WWDC @vishnuganti and I's little clock app for #visionOS got sherlocked by Apple! /s
In all reality it was only a mater of time, it's exciting to see how widgets are expanding and I love the idea of more content persisting. Excited to download the beta!

Huge thanks to everyone who tuned in to the Creature Feature on @IGN yesterday!
We announced @LaserDanceGame is coming to Early Access in fall, and also showed off some new gameplay footage.

Just dropped Part 1 of my Apple Vision Pro tutorial series! [Tutorial link below]
Learn how to:
🔗 Use ARKit World Anchors to persist virtual objects
💡 Build a light control system for Philips Hue lights
📍 Anchor UI to real-world lights using Vision Pro
🛠 Let users assign lights to virtual entities
This is just the beginning — color picker, slingshot mechanics, and orb rings coming next 👀

I just released a 2.5 hour long tutorial to show how to build a Mixed Reality game in Unity from start to finish.
This is the most in depth tutorial I made on XR with:
✅Passthrough Setup
✅ Scene model
✅ Spawning objects
✅ Navmesh
✅ Publishing your game on the Meta Store!

The Duskbloods, a brand-new multiplayer game by FromSoftware, is coming exclusively to #NintendoSwitch2 in 2026! #NintendoDirect
I recently finished the @pikuma course on making a 2D game engine with C++, SDL, ImGui and Lua! 10/10 highly recommend it.
It was fun to get a deeper understanding on how all the pieces fit together and explore ECS implementation.
I made a tilemap level editor as a bonus!
Did you know Anchors on #visionOS are persistent by default starting in 2.0+?
Persistent anchors are also supported on #MetaQuest and #AndroidXR
Learn about these features are more at @andybiar's and I's Cross-platform Mixed Reality talk at #GDC25 happening next Tuesday!

Last plug for the Unity XR GDC talk! Because Unity is sponsoring the talk, anyone with an Expo pass can attend, which is rad!
Tuesday 1:20pm
schedule.gdconf.com/session/…
If you'll be at #GDC this year and are working in #XR be sure to come to the XR developer night hosted by @unitygames! It's Tuesday from 6pm-9pm.
More details and registration here: unityxrdevelopernightgdc2025…
I'll be there along with other colleagues!
When debugging on #visionOS it can be helpful to view the eye gaze cursor sometimes. You can enable it via accessibility settings under Interaction / Pointer Control
I'm excited to share I'll be giving a talk at #GDC2025 this year with @andybiar on cross-platform Mixed Reality!
Going to be a bit more technical, talking about OpenXR, Meta Quest, AndroidXR and Apple Vision Pro

I'll be giving a short presentation and on a panel at the Bay Area Games and XR Industry Symposium this Friday at Northeastern's Oakland Campus.
