In this session, participants will engage in a comprehensive, step-by-step workshop designed to guide them through the process of creating a world in Meta Horizon from scratch using the Meta Horizon Worlds desktop editor. This powerful tool, similar to Unity, offers an integrated game development environment that simplifies world-building with intuitive keyboard and mouse controls on Windows PC rather than a VR headset . Attendees will explore the editor's capabilities, including adding and adjusting objects, incorporating elements like shapes, sounds, and colliders, and utilizing features such as quests, leaderboards, TypeScript scripting, AI tools for generating code snippets and sound effects, along with real-time changes, debugging, and seamless world publishing.
The session will also feature a Creator Panel, where top creators will share their experiences and tips on building with the desktop editor on mobile and in MR.
