If you are a dad, a mom, or simply someone who is extremely busy, perhaps you have a day job and would love to build a game or app on the side, then NOW is the time to do it.

I am a dad, and I work at one of the biggest tech companies in the world. I have 200+ GitHub projects, 900+ YouTube videos on my channel, and tons of responsibilities at Meta, leading advocacy for VR/MR devs. But the more time I spend with AI tools, the stronger my belief becomes that this is the time where building will be extremely democratized.

You can literally build anything.

You still need core skills, but these tools are opening so many opportunities for everyone.

Trust me, believe me, start building today, whether that’s for VR/MR or another medium. You, my friends, will be the people our kids look up to tomorrow.

[Dilmer 🔜 AWE @Dilmerv]

💡What if I could fully turn an existing full-scale VR/MR game into a mini tabletop game? Honestly, this just took 6-7 prompts + a few android permission changes to enable hand tracking.

The results 🤯 and this used to take me a while because I had to manually resize and adjust everything before I could even make it work. This is exactly why Unity AI and their exposed MCP tools are such a big deal for developers.

❗New Dimension Launched❗

Sporelando is a swampy slice of suburban sprawl where the air is thick, the golf carts are alive, and the gators have the right of way! 🐊

📣 This solo developer who currently works at Pixar as a Technical Director is building a VR rhythm game called Sock Puppet Superstar for Quest as an indie project, and over the last week he has been going viral on TikTok!

🤖Features/Tech:
- Using Unity, OpenXR, hand tracking, and a custom voice synthesizer built in FMOD
- Raise and lower your puppet to control the pitch
- Works with hand tracking or controllers
- Customize your sock puppet with colors, fabrics, accessories, and voices

📌 Devs can achieve this using the Meta XR Interaction SDK or Unity XR Toolkit (XR Hands) to add full hand support like what’s shown here.

🚀 Share this to give this solo indie dev more visibility! I’ll continue this bi-weekly with more indie devs who deserve the amplification!

Introducing Muse Spark, the first in the Muse family of models developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs.

Muse Spark is a natively multimodal reasoning model with support for tool-use, visual chain of thought, and multi-agent orchestration.

Muse Spark is available today at https://t.co/wHkMPH82ZH and the Meta AI app. We’re also making it available in private preview via API to select partners, and we hope to open-source future versions of the model.

[Gabriele Romagnoli @GabRoXR]

Don't mind me... just testing all new throwing interactions on the Meta SDK v83... but there is more.

There is also Fast Motion Mode that makes hand tracking suitable also for more intense tasks like punching.

Apparently, there is also a bucket of new hand-based locomotion options, but unfortunately, I was not able to test them 🤔

Special thanks to @ValemVR for putting together a demo app 😉
