Our game taken down from Meta Horizon Store right after the release. Need help!
Hey everyone, we just released our game Graffism on Wednesday, and 15 mins after release users started to report that they purchased the app but cant access, cant find in their libraries, and many of them also have an error while purchasing and made multiple purchases (some of them charged more than 3 times!) Then we try to get in touch with support, they reply really slow like 1-2 mails in a day, then our game is taken off from the store and now its not available. Our release events cancelled, users are mad (only a few of them has an access to the game and play smoothly), and our reputation is getting harmed badly. So i need anyone who have similar experience to tell me what can we do, how we can get quick help and who we can reach. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Allow ability to film in both portrait and/or landscape aspect with Ray-Ban Meta Glasses.
Can the developers please create and release a downloadable update that allows creators to film in both portrait and/or landscape modes? Maybe make this a setting we can toggle between in the app. This would be so helpful thank you.Our forum platform upgrade is complete!
Welcome to our new Developer Forums! The upgrade to our new forum software is now complete, and everything should be working properly on a technical level. Over the next week or so we'll be making other changes to things like the design, layout, and categories of the forums as well. This will also include changes to the forum categories and organization, and will include archiving some of the old content—while older conversations will remain accessible, new replies will no longer be allowed, and new conversations will need to be started in the new categories. We're excited about the cool stuff we have planned for this forum, and we can't wait to roll it out to you. Stay tuned!
Suggestion for Developing an SDK for Meta Ray-ban Glasses
Hey everyone, I'm curious: will there ever be a developer kit (SDK) available for Meta glasses? I think the glasses are great, but there's not much to do with them right now. So, I thought, why not build a community around it? If Meta releases an API or something that other apps could call or interact with indirectly (since it seems there's already a service running in the background), this could enable commands from third-party apps. This way, you could allow users to develop their own apps and further customize the experience. For example, let's say I want to do something customizable, like turning on my smart lights using the command "Hey Meta". My own app could register a command (or more than one) so that whenever I say "Hey Meta, [do something]", this command triggers (it could be a post or a deeplink) that my app could receive and then perform the desired action, only for that command. And if this API allows me to use the camera live, like we do in Instagram livestreams, the possibilities would be endless. Think about it, everyone. I really want to build custom experiences with this, so please consider releasing an SDK for Meta glasses. Thanks!
Deploying Passthrough App in Shared Mode without Insight SDK Blocking HMS (Horizon Managed Service)
Hi everyone, I’m developing an educational XR application for Meta Quest 3S devices, intended for public use in a science center. I’m trying to deploy the app in Shared Mode via Meta Horizon Managed Services (HMS). My application uses: OVRManager Passthrough API for basic passthrough functionality (showing the real-world environment as a background layer). I do NOT use: Scene Understanding Spatial Anchors Object Anchors Avatars SDK Platform SDK APIs However, when I upload my updated APK to HMS, I keep getting the error: Shared mode: contains Insight SDK I have tried: :white_heavy_check_mark: Removing all references to Scene Understanding scripts (e.g. OVRSceneManager, OVRSceneAnchor). :white_heavy_check_mark: Removing Spatial Anchors scripts. :white_heavy_check_mark: High Managed Stripping Level to reduce unused code. :white_heavy_check_mark: Cleaning up Assembly Definitions. But the Insight SDK warning still appears, even though my app only uses passthrough. And so the app won't update. My questions: Is it possible to deploy an app using the Passthrough API in Shared Mode without HMS blocking it for containing Insight SDK? Does simply having the Insight SDK DLLs present in the Meta Core or Interaction SDK force HMS to block Shared Mode, even if I’m not using those APIs? Is there any recommended way to build a “lightweight” version of the Meta SDK that excludes Insight SDK for Shared Mode deployment? I’m trying to avoid having to abandon Shared Mode because this deployment is for a public science center where multi-user security is important. Thanks a lot for any help or guidance!
Activating the Controllers of the Meta Quest 3 without touching them
Hi, I'm developing a VR game where we need to track the position of one of the Meta Quest 3 controllers, even when it's not actively held by the user. The problem is that the controller needs to be active (i.e., awake and tracked) for us to get its position. However, it seems the controller won’t activate until the user physically interacts with it — by wiggling or pressing a button. For our use case, this is not ideal. We want the controller to become active automatically when the headset starts up, without requiring any user interaction. Is there any way to wake or activate the controller programmatically — without the user needing to move or press anything on it?
Render to only one eye
Hello, I'm after a bit of information about who I should try contacting regarding making VR less GPU wasteful for my particular situation. I'm blind in my right eye so I was hoping that there could be a driver level option maybe that would allow users to say "hey, as much as I'd love 2 working eyes, it would be real nice if I can just render a black image to the right eye and benefit from better FPS in the left". I get that stereoscopic is better, given the choice, but for me it's not a choice I have so I may as well benefit from improved frame rates or better image quality. I was born blind in one eye so I've had plenty of time getting used to lack of depth perception, however, I can still take visual cues from surrounding environment on a virtual race track to know when to out brake you :wink: Back on track though (pun intended), would it be a driver level (pun unintended) development, or maybe SteamVR? Something where we do not have to rely on every game studio to provide it as an option, instead we can just set it and forget it at lower level. I have a degree in games programming, so I'd be happy to get my fingers dirty if I was pointed in the right direction, if Oculus isn't prepared to implement something like this. Thanks in advance, Kevin
