"It's a human who has to put on the headset and see if your interaction is natural or not."
That's @AshrayPai answering a question about agentic tools from Meta developer advocate @Dilmerv in episode 1 of Unscripted, our new series where a developer and a Meta developer advocate candidly take turns answering questions about building on Meta platforms.
In this episode, Ashray and Dilmer shared how they use agentic tools to accelerate VR development. Scaffolding, SDK and package setup, debugging and test runs all go to Ashray's agents. Comfort and interaction quality stay with him, in the headset. He sums it up as anything that needs testing can go to an agent, and anything that requires judging needs a human.
Watch episode 1 to hear how both of them use agentic tools in their day-to-day workflows and stay tuned for more episodes 👉 bit.ly/4k1BdLC

Le Dino Labo started as a three-week prototype for last year's Meta VR Start Developer Competition. It earned an honorable mention, and now it's a 4.8-star game on the Store 👉 bit.ly/4dP3IbA
Yours could be next. Enter this year's competition by Nov 18. Register now 👉 bit.ly/47N8weh

New in Immersive Web SDK 1.0: your coding agent can now run and test your app itself, either in the desktop emulator or on a Meta Quest connected to your computer. It finds the slowdowns your users would hit before they do.
Start building with IWSDK 👉 bit.ly/4ztqsGh
Before you adapt your game for hands, decide whether it's a fit. Speed plus precision, thumbstick-style control, and simultaneous actions all raise the cost of the port.
This lesson and others are now available for developers on Meta VR Academy 👉 bit.ly/4hYPdTW
Direct or indirect interaction? It's the first call you make in a hands-first VR game, and it decides how the whole experience feels.
Pick wrong and your game is tiring to play, even when it technically works.

If you build for the web, you can build for Meta VR.
With the Meta template for v0 by @vercel, describe an idea, deploy it, and open it on Meta Quest today. It's ready for Meta VR Glasses too, with gaze and hand input built in.
See how it works 👉 bit.ly/4yf49n1
A racing game with AI opponents. A hand tracked garden on your table. A 2D to 3D scanner. All prototyped in minutes at Meta Connect. 🚀

Building a hand-first VR experience? Let’s talk movement. 🙌
Take a look at this breakdown of locomotion for hand-first experiences.
Here’s a question I’ve been getting a lot recently: How do you move around in VR without controllers? 🙌
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻. It’s simply how we move through a virtual world, even when our physical space is limited.
For hands-first experiences on Meta VR Glasses, we can combine hand movements with microgestures to move, turn, crouch, and more!
A single thumb tap while your hand is idle, rather than aiming at UI, activates the locomotion method selected in your app’s preferences.
Let’s look at Walkingsticks, Telepath, and the familiar Teleport 👇

Want to speed up your XR development? 🥽⏩
Meta Developer Advocate, @Dilmerv, shares 3 key ways to optimize your workflows using the new Unity CLI - from instant code evaluation to faster Quest builds and performance profiling.

Desktop simulation can test behavior, but it can't measure frame time on a headset.
With Immersive Web SDK version 1.0, an agent can play your app on device, profile it, fix any drop, and replay until it holds your frame rate target. 🧠
Point your agent here and start building 👉 bit.ly/4hWE6Mi

Well, no time wasted! I’ll be doing a live, hands-on tutorial on Unity’s YouTube channel showing what it’s like to build for Meta VR Glasses. More details below 👇

Ok, if you’re NEW to VR, AI, or Wearables development, watch this video!
It’s beginner-friendly, and I walk through many of the tools and SDKs we provide for building with Meta, including Unity, Unreal, DAT/Web Apps, WebXR, & agentic workflows.
If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to drop them below! 👇

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. 👇
This is what Meta Connect felt like from the floor. 🎥
And this is where you pick up what they learned: every developer session on demand, plus recap blogs and documentation to start building for Meta VR Glasses. 👉 bit.ly/4xRPEVO

A framework is only as good as what people build with it.
Immersive Web SDK 1.0 is out, and this is what our community has made with it so far.
Run npm create @iwsdk@latest, or point your AI agent at iwsdk.dev/skill.md and imagine away.
