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.
