📣 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!show more

Absolutely a very cool game idea!

Not to be the usual balloon popper, but... while I find it amazing, making one short fun clip is a thing, making a full game that can stick it's another one. I'm wondering if this can truly provide repeatable fun

Pixar "flex" as a Techical Director "flex". Both irrelevant pieces of information. Also "solo dev" == Indie dev.

So uhm, yeah perfect looks fun, just don't let it have a right handed mode ... or people will start wondering if you're role playing an austrian painter rather than .. making a sock sing (:

Do you have a Quest device?

The pitch-via-puppet mechanic is genuinely clever — love the series. As a solo-ish dev shipping a VR rhythm game myself (Vibe Punch, rhythm boxing w/ bullet deflection), this "input IS the gameplay" approach is so inspiring. More please 🙌

⛳️ Tiny Golf - A Very Cool Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition Submission! Mixed Reality games are challenging because they must adapt to real-world spaces with dynamic content, but they don’t have to be complex. Tiny Golf is a great example, using a minimalistic aesthetic and 🙌 hand-tracking pinch-and-pull gestures to launch the golf ball. I hope MR/VR games like this inspire many of you to build, there is just so much opportunity with XR today and 2026 is the year to start! 😉 📌 To get started, you can use: Meta XR All-In-One SDK, or a leaner option: Meta XR Interaction SDK, which pulls in the Meta XR Core SDK package and includes advanced hand-tracking features and passthrough.

🚀 This is something I recently learned about the 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗗𝗞, and if you're aiming for 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺, there is a way to do it. Basically, the Interaction SDK Essentials package provides the core implementations of all the interaction models, along with the necessary shaders, materials, and prefabs. The package can optionally integrate with Unity XR if the dependency is available. 💡Use this package paired with Unity XR Hands if cross-platform development is important to your project.

Hi XR devs! Big day today. v83 of the Meta XR SDK is officially out and it includes something very special to me 🦙. For the past 6 months we’ve been building AI Inference Building Blocks, which you may have seen teased at Meta Connect 2025. Our goal: keep the simplicity of Building Blocks while giving you the freedom to plug in any AI provider or model you want to power you apps with AI. More details and a full step-by-step guide are coming soon. And stay tuned as two more iterations are already locked in for early next year with new capabilities and major performance and inference improvements like you've never seen on Meta Quest. 🚀 For now, learn more on the Meta Horizon OS Developer Center:
