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!
Subject: Request for Guidance - Innovation Proposal and Strategic Partnership Request
Dear Meta Community/Support Team, My name is AS33, I am a Strategic Designer and Independent Developer. I am currently researching innovation modules that may be relevant to several Meta teams, including but not limited to Meta Horizon, Generative AI, LLaMA, and Experimental Interface Research. I am seeking guidance on the following: 1. What department, contact, or channel is best for submitting innovation proposals or partnership ideas? 2. Is there a dedicated team within Meta (e.g. Horizon Labs, Research, R&D, Co-Design, etc.) that reviews early-stage concept proposals from external independent authors? 3. Are there any internal innovation or consulting programs (e.g. Co-design Program, Meta Open Research, Meta Quest Creators Hub) that are currently accepting new participants or promising collaborations? I am particularly interested in hybrid models where I can contribute not as a permanent team member, but as an external signal architect, designer, or creative collaborator. My goal is to explore mutually beneficial options that could include: - Strategic consulting on symbolic systems, neuro-alignment, or immersive signal architectures - Early testing collaboration with the Meta Horizon or Generative AI teams If you can forward this to the appropriate team or share the appropriate contact paths or application portals, I would greatly appreciate your help. With respect and gratitude, AS33
UK Keyboard layout for USB keyboard
So, I don't currently have a bluetooth keyboard. No problem I thought I've got a wireless small logitech keyboard with a USB reciever and an adapter. Which works really well... but I'm rather disappointed to find all the layouts for a phyisal keyboard seem to be US? Would it be that much to put UK options? Tried to screenshot the options but it blanked them out..
Nitpicks with Meta Rayban Smart glasses and suggestions for improvements for version 3
Please move or delete as seen fit. I have been using the Meta glasses for over a year and I love these things. But I have some suggestions and improvements for version3 when it comes out. https://youtu.be/kqfLbuFQsF0Why is Oculus Developer Support so bad?
This isn't supposed to be a rant thread, but I am genuinely surprised about how bad the experience has been for us so far developing for the oculus platform in terms of available resources and support. On the end-user side, oculus/Meta seems to do a really good job in providing resources and quick support, but it seems to be quite the contrary on the developer side and it just puzzles me why this is the case. There are hardly any answers from oculus engineers on this forum, support tickets take forever and don't yield any actual help and SDK documentation is often seriously lacking. Given that Meta is so dedicated in pushing the Metaverse, I'm genuinely surprised about the way they treat developers that dedicate their time and resources building experiences for their platform, and thus I wonder whether they maybe internally have the stance that developing polished VR experiences is something rather difficult that they don't expect independent developers to come up with and thus focus their resources on providing direct support channels to the big studios instead? I'd be interested to hear about the experience of other devs on here and also what place you go to when you have problems or questions (because the official developer forum doesn't seem to yield any results for any non-trivial questions/problems)? MetaStoreHelpUnity app doesn't track predictions correctly
I have an app that is in Unity that is supposed to track my Predictions(ms) but it just displays zero on my headset. Here is my code below: csharp using UnityEngine; using TMPro; public class GetPredAmount : MonoBehaviour { public TMP_Text textComponent; void Start() { } void Update() { var metrics = OVRMetricsToolSDK.Instance.GetLatestMetricsSnapshot(); if (metrics != null && metrics.HasValue) { textComponent.text = metrics.Value.average_prediction_milliseconds.ToString(); } else { textComponent.text = "Metrics not available"; } } } I am using the OVR Metrics Tool unity packagePeople app - access from a computer
Hi everyone, I'm trying to access the Oculus platform, specifically the people app and be able to login a user from the exterior of the headset and use Deep Links to be able to communicate an app with the rest of the metaverse (to any android, iOS, or PC/maOS devices, using UE5 as development platform) but I can't see any way to do that, if anyone can help me with any tip or suggestion will be great.
