For Portal: Shortwave Radio
I downloaded the Claude code skills according to the instructions released recently, and told her I wanted to create a SDR radio that uses hosted radio from around the world. It includes a waterfall view, and an interface that takes inspiration from decades of shortwave radios. My kids love playing with it and seeing what kind of radio stations they can listen to.Show Your Work: Community Project Showcase
It’s time to show off what you’ve been building. Show Your Work is a live community showcase where developers share their recently shipped or work-in-progress projects—whether it’s a polished launch or a rough prototype you’re excited about. Drop in and grab a few minutes to walk us through what you’re working on. Bring a build, a screenshot, or even just a story about a problem you solved. Or come to see what fellow builders are creating, ask questions, and connect with developers tackling similar challenges. All project stages welcome—from “just got it running” to “it’s live on the store.”
Supported way to use consenting user-provided media in a creative experience?
I'm working on a creative tool that integrates with Meta's ad stack. For one feature, I'd like users to voluntarily provide a single photo of themselves - explicit opt-in, first-party - used to generate a personalized creative for that same user. To be clear: I'm not asking how to access platform-stored user images or anything the APIs don't expose, and I'm not trying to work around any privacy boundary. My question is only about the supported, compliant way to handle media a user themselves chooses to contribute. Specifically: 1. Are there documented patterns for capturing user-provided media within the Meta ad ecosystem (interactive/playable formats, Instant Experiences, partner flows)? 2. What consent, retention, and review considerations apply when a creative uses a user-supplied image of themselves? 3. Is there an officially sanctioned format where user-contributed media is permitted vs. disallowed? Mainly want to get the consent and data-flow right from day one. Pointers to docs or precedent welcome . Thanks!
Organisation of access to deceased loved ones accounts
Hi guys. I’m currently working on an app where loved ones can verify and share documentation’s for their loved ones online accounts. We are currently mvp-ing with some real use cases in Germany, but we are looking to the US for more opportunities. Any ideas ? thanksStart App Showcase: First Time User Experience & Onboarding
In this workshop, mentors from the Meta Horizon Start program discuss the critical importance of onboarding in VR games. They showcase four titles from the Start community—Cubism, Laser Dance, Loop One: Done, and RC Pilot Trainer—to illustrate how developers can effectively teach mechanics while keeping players engaged from the very first minute. Key Takeaways The “First Five Minutes” Rule: Most players are lost within the first five to ten minutes; developers must make their games both easily understandable and fun immediately. Time to Interaction & Reward: A successful onboarding experience focuses on minimizing the time it takes for a player to perform their first interaction and receive their first reward. Simplicity and Progression: Starting with trivial, guided tasks reduces cognitive load and builds player confidence before introducing complex mechanics. MR-Specific Challenges: Onboarding in mixed reality must account for the player’s physical environment; successful games integrate room setup directly into the experience rather than relying on system-level menus. Instructional Modality: Providing instructions through multiple channels—such as text, narration, and visual cues—improves accessibility and ensures players with different learning styles can follow along. This session was recorded in April 2026 as part of the Meta Horizon Start program. 🎬 CHAPTERS 00:05 - Workshop Introduction and Agenda 01:01 - The Importance of Onboarding in VR/MR 03:01 - Case Study: Cubism & Laser Dance Fastest path to the core game loop Using initial inputs for room centering and setup Level progression: from trivial to guided 15:39 - Case Study: Loop One: Done Native MR room calibration to reduce friction Combining written and narrated instructions Rewarding players with audio and visual feedback 23:27 - Case Study: RC Pilot Trainer Immediate immersion with minimal UI Retention-driving features vs. complex controls 28:08 - Q&A: Skipping Tutorials and Returning Players 32:54 - Closing Remarks 🎮 FEATURED IN THIS SESSION ➡️ Cubism ➡️ Laser Dance ➡️ Loop One: Done ➡️ RC Pilot Trainer 📚 ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ➡️ Developers Blog ➡️ Meta Quest Developer Hub 🔗 CONNECT WITH US Sign up to get the latest news from Meta Horizon. 💡 LEARN ABOUT THE META HORIZON START PROGRAM The Meta Horizon Start program provides intermediate and advanced developers with hands-on support and expert guidance to accelerate app development.

VR Music Trainer
Hello! I wanted to share my project: Vonias/VR-Music-Trainer I have successfully created a small application that displays music to the VR Quest that the musician can read and perform. The VR APP has a Heads Up Display, that shows a tuner, and dynamics indicator (how loud your playing). I'm really happy with what I have so far, but it lacks appeal. It's very basic. Check it out!
