Over the past 3-4 weeks, I focused on creating a live demo for the Meta Connect Developer Keynote. When the team asked me to do this with AI, my first reaction was, “How am I going to pull this off on stage?” 😅

Then I got to work. I’ve been building so many games and prototypes that I had a pretty good idea of how to approach it.

Well, I don’t want to spoil it, but here’s the full live demo showing how I built a Mini Golf game that’s ready for Meta VR Glasses! It uses v207, hand tracking, and gaze interactions, and I relied quite a bit on Meta XR Simulator for rapid iteration. 👇

Unity XR devs, when would you choose Meta ISDK over Unity XRI + XR Hands? 👇

Both support many of the same core interactions, including grabbing, poking, rays, and locomotion.

For me, it comes down to the platform, available tools, and how much customization I need.

Unity XRI is great for cross-platform development, while ISDK offers specialized hand interactions and deeper Meta integration.

And remember, ISDK Essentials works with Unity XR Hands too!

💡Curious which one you’re using and why?

If you’re developing for Meta VR Glasses, what’s the ONE interaction you’re most excited to experiment with?

Gaze, pinch, microgestures, or something completely different?

I’d love to hear your ideas!

Super excited to be heading to Japan this Friday! 🇯🇵🚀

Can’t wait to be at Unite Tokyo, connect with the amazing Unity developer community, and share more about the work we’re doing with Meta VR Glasses and the latest developer tools!

So much happening in XR right now, and I’m really looking forward to meeting developers and seeing what everyone is building!

See you in Tokyo!
