Linux alpha demo build testing @ProjJumpScare on my kid's TV with Steam Deck and Steam Controller.

Even without the win, the Hand Tracking locomotion system is moving forward and will be shipping on both Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro!

[Biggs ᯅ @SpatialBiggs]

Meta Start Hackathon results are out!

Didn’t take the hand interaction prize, but the locomotion system performed well enough that it’s now the primary locomotion method for our Apple Vision Pro build.

Thanks to everyone who followed along and shared feedback.

Hand Locomotion in an Apple Vision Pro

[Biggs ᯅ @SpatialBiggs]

UE5 Hand Tracking Locomotion ported to Apple Vision Pro!

Brought over my Meta Start Competition tech submission over with great results.

Not a bad land before Holiday break!

[Biggs ᯅ @SpatialBiggs]

Final submission for the Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition 2025!

Solved a recurring XR design problem using a unified input abstraction layer that adapts locomotion systems across:

•Meta Quest hand tracking
•VisionOS gesture input
•iOS touch
•PC / mouse / gamepad

Sneak Peek #3 👀 - Hand Locomotion traversal with no controllers. 🎮🤗

Last day of Meta's XR Hackathon! 🚢

[Biggs ᯅ @SpatialBiggs]

Sneak Peek #2 👀 - Hand Locomotion Yaw and Jump that are similar to the traditional controller input systems 🎮🤗

One more sneak peek left for Meta's XR Hackathon 🫡

[Biggs ᯅ @SpatialBiggs]

Sneak peak! 👀 - Motion Controller to Hand Tracking is a small part of what I've worked on for Meta's Hackathon 🤗

How's the @ProjJumpScare desktop build looking Chat?

Frame rate from VR optimizations should make this run well even on Deck. We'll see!

How did NASA get in the @ProjJumpScare alpha... 😳

Actually this is even cooler with fingers. There is a magic in seeing your real life body interacting in a digital world.

...different than the presence in full body VR avatars...

Since it is your own body influencing the simulation you don't feel that VR acclimation gap...🤔

[Biggs ᯅ @SpatialBiggs]

I feel that seeing your real arms effect the world is more impactful compared to the traditional VR avatar now that I've made this work in @ProjJumpScare

Am in love with this hybrid approach using Apple Vision Pro and wish I could make a passthrough body work on all platforms...

Screenshot Saturday update for @ProjJumpScare

[Biggs ᯅ @SpatialBiggs]

I discovered HMD FOV reduction experimenting on the original Project Jump Scare Unity demo in 2014.

Pitched it at VR conferences and meetups like Oculus Connect, SVVR, OCVR, and LAVR.

Google and Meta employees gave "wows" during DK2 demos and it soon became a comfort standard.

Quest 3 night cycle needs a unique tune for weather, fog, and lighting compared to iOS / visionOS metal shaders after testing- but @ProjJumpScare day/night is still wild inside the headset! 🥹

wasn't sure this would work without a parallel system. Feels so great to hit it 😭🎯🚀

Unreal Engine 5.6 update for @ProjJumpScare was toughest one this past month😮‍💨

VisionOS performance took a major step back in 5.6 vs 5.5 but reported to Epic and hopefully it gets ironed out.

iOS is improved however and able to get a very nice fog going! #screenshotsaturday
