Unleashing the Potential of VR: Building Immersive Experiences with Familiar Tools

Wednesday Apr 10 / 11:45AM BST, Churchill (Ground Fl.)

Abstract

Join us as we delve into the exciting world of wearable devices, the next frontier in personal computing. At Meta, we're harnessing this potential through innovative software like Workrooms, a VR application that transcends the boundaries of traditional collaboration.

This talk is designed to demystify VR software development. We'll show you how we're creating immersive VR apps using familiar tools like React and JavaScript, making VR development accessible to Frontend Developers.

We'll explore how Workrooms leverages these technologies to craft and test core user experiences. We'll also discuss the unique considerations and challenges of VR and AR, emphasising the critical role of high-performance.

Join us to discover how you can be part of this revolutionary journey with the tools you already know and love.
