Build VR Apps Fast with Immersive Web SDK
Discover the Meta Immersive Web SDK, a powerful “batteries-included” framework designed to make immersive development as approachable as traditional web development. In this session, Meta Software Engineers Felix Zhang and Jianmin Zheng are joined by founder of Drawcall.ai, Bela Bohlender, to deliver a deep dive into the SDK’s features and developer-first workflows.
By the end of the session, you will know how to build and test a complete immersive application right in your desktop browser, then carry that same project into a headset when you are ready.
