Mixed Reality Guidelines
Hello, I’m reaching out to ask whether you can provide a definitive list of the Mixed Reality guidelines for Meta Quest development. In my research, I’ve found several documents across the Meta developer site, but none that consolidate all MR‑related requirements or recommendations in one place. The most relevant resource I located is the following: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/design/mr-overview/ Based on this page and other official documentation, I’ve compiled a set of test cases for our project. Before proceeding, could you please confirm whether these guidelines are accurate and complete, or advise if there is an official, comprehensive list available? Thank you. Test Cases I have created so far using the above resources: Passthrough & Visual Integration Clear passthrough usage Passthrough is intentional and readable Passthrough & Visual Integration Grounded virtual objects Objects cast shadows or appear anchored Passthrough & Visual Integration No clipping Virtual objects do not intersect real geometry Passthrough & Visual Integration Smooth transitions Passthrough transitions use fades or stylization Passthrough & Visual Integration Consistent stylization Visual style is uniform across experience Many Thanks,
Getting battery percentage for headset/controllers in Unity over Meta Link (Meta XR SDK)
Hi, I’m working with Unity + Meta XR SDK and using Meta Quest 3 via Meta Link (PC VR / OpenXR runtime). I would like to retrieve the battery percentage of the headset and controllers while running in PC VR mode (Link/Air Link). What I’ve tried: - SystemInfo.batteryLevel returns PC/laptop battery, not headset - OVRPlugin.batteryLevel marked as obsolete, and returns 0 when running via Link - OVRManager.batteryLevel same behavior as OVRPlugin However, the Meta Quest Link desktop and mobile app itself are able to display headset and controller battery information, so the data clearly exists in the system. Is there any supported way in Meta XR SDK / OpenXR / Oculus PC SDK to access: - Headset battery percentage - Controller battery level …while running in PC VR mode (Link/Air Link)? Or is this data intentionally not exposed to third-party applications on the SDK side? Any clarification from Meta or experienced XR developers will be appreciated. Thanks!
Business Verification 'In Review' 10+ days — blocking App Review submission
Hi everyone, I'm building ZynPost (zynpost.co.uk) — an AI-powered social media scheduling platform for small businesses. I submitted my business verification over 10 days ago and it's still showing "In Review" with no updates. Details: Business Portfolio ID: 1514153376737761 Use case selected: "App requires access to permissions on Meta for Developers" App name: ZynPost App status: Published (Live mode) The problem: The pending business verification is blocking me from completing my App Review submission. Specifically, instagram_business_content_publish requires Advanced Access which requires Business Verification to be complete before I can run the required API test call. This means I cannot submit my App Review until verification completes. I have completed everything else: All permission descriptions written All screen recordings uploaded Facebook OAuth working and tested Instagram connected and tested All other API test calls completed I've tried raising a support ticket through the bug reporter but was told individual cases can't be handled there. Is there any way to escalate this or get a manual review? Any help from Meta staff or community members who've resolved this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Record and replay real hand pose at runtime (Meta Interaction SDK – Unreal)
Hi everyone, I’m currently working with the Meta Interaction SDK in Unreal Engine (UE 5.6) and using hand tracking only (no controllers). I’m using the ISDK Hand Rig Component for both hands. What I’m trying to achieve is: I want to capture the user’s real hand pose at runtime, save that pose, and then reapply (replay) that exact pose later on command. So, basically my requirement is, Is there a built-in way in Meta Interaction SDK to record and replay hand poses ? What’s the best way to temporarily override hand tracking and apply a custom pose? Any guidance, suggestions, or pointers would be really helpful. help in any way you can. Thanks.Is there a way to make the player not see their own avatar
Hello, I am building a Unity Project with Meta All-In-One SDK and I'm using the Networked Avatar Building Block on top of Matchmaking and Hand Tracking and Passthrough to create an experience where users can see other avatars with their hand movements with Passthrough in the real world , this creates an effect where you can see people walking around, talking and interacting with things in a room that they are not physically in with passthrough. My issue with this is the fact that the player (host) can see other players' Avatar and other players can see the host's avatar but when the host themselves also look down they also see their own avatar arms connected to their hands and body. I do not really want this Is there way for the player to just see their normal hand prefabs/meshes from their perspective while other connected players see the full avatar and vice versa?Meta XR Standalone Simulator V83.2 crash immediately on running the game in unity
