Meta RL

Meta Quest has now reached tens of millions of users and made over a billion dollars, but the technical challenges remain immense, with a wearable form factor and a power-constrained mobile SoC. David gives an overview of the Quest build and optimize flow, geared towards console and PC developers, with an eye toward graphically-demanding, immersive games. Mixed Reality enables new creative possibilities, but it puts unique demands on programmers, artists, and designers. We share the lessons of a ten-year journey from developer kits to Quest 3.

Takeaway

Learn how to extract Quest's full capability and maximize presence for your users, showing them things they've never seen before. David dives into Quest's SDK, focusing on Unity and Unreal and show you how to balance quality, responsiveness, and comfort. David shows you how to analyze performance with key tools, and introduce sample code you can include in your app or peruse to learn more.

Intended Audience

Advanced systems and graphics programmers may be the most excited about this one, but David provides enough context to make it valuable for intermediate technical contributors, too. David covers best practices, workflows, and system knowledge that will help a range of XR developers maximize presence and, hopefully, engagement.
