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

How's the Project Jump Scare desktop build looking Chat?
Frame rate from VR optimizations should make this run well even on Deck. We'll see!

$750 rumor is high for Steam Machine. Too high. Feel similar to when I heard PSVR 2 price point. Didn't fit market.
But I also don't think people are realizing the memory shortage issue. Consoles / PCs might continually spike as AI eats all ram.
Like ongoing YoY adjustments 🫠

Think of a window FRAME. 🪟
Half Life was VR- you simply observed it through a FLAT window. Monitors had no parallex or depth.
But it was always VR!
What is it to peer through a window Frame?
What is traditional gaming in 3D? Not stereoscopic tricks, but with parallax?

There is a terrible irony that my biggest most challenging bugs in gamedev relate to compliance rather than gameplay or the actual user experience.
We spend time as gamedevs making a decent UX bad after compliance forces a design.
I can't wait for even more rules!

Update went so well for not touching Meta's tech in Unreal Engine for nearly 6 months-
No errors on PC
Puppet sort of works but needs platform specific rotation
Hand tracking is PERFECT
Enhanced input works exactly same as Dualsense controller 🥳
Also need to fix floor calibration

No errors! Solid update but will have to test:
A) does my Meta specific hand tracking pipeline still work
B) do motion controllers still interface properly with my enhanced input system.
Have some menu issues to work out for sure with pawn locked in place but not a bad start!

We finally have an Unreal Engine 5.6.1 Meta XR plugin!
I will be testing Project Jump Scare with soon in Quest 3 with all my progress. This cuts out months of refactoring and I can use optimizations!!!
