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 :)

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 👀

✅Passthrough Setup
✅ Scene model

Last plug for the Unity XR GDC talk! Because Unity is sponsoring the talk, anyone with an Expo pass can attend, which is rad!

Unfortunately I have been affected by this.
While I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly, I’m still incredibly grateful for nearly six years there!
I’m open to new opportunities - so I'm more than happy to connect with anyone wanting to make great games!
BREAKING: Unity Technologies unexpectedly lays off a number of its developers, apparently including entire departments.
The job cuts were announced to those impacted in a 5 AM email: 80.lv/articles/breaking-unit…

Unfortunately, MARVEL SNAP is temporarily unavailable in U.S. app stores and is unavailable to play in the U.S.
This outage is a surprise to us and wasn't planned. MARVEL SNAP isn’t going anywhere.
We’re actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share.

Updated my VR dev setup for the first time in years. Added a DIY headband, got a 5-meter link cable, removed straps from the controllers, and more. Also updated the basic VFX test project to Unity 6. github.com/keijiro/QuestTest

Excited to share the Unity OpenXR: Android XR package, our in-house AR Foundation implementation for Android XR.
If you are developing for Meta Quest with AR Foundation today, you don't need to change any code to use the same features on Android XR.
