You know what, go learn Unity and coding and figure out how to actually make it.
We're going to dig into using MagicLeap and Hololens and mixed reality headsets as a tool for business. And so we got-- our main first break as Extality was leveraging some of our game connections and things like that, to get close to MagicLeap. Today we have Arash Keshmirian, co-founder of Extality. Well, there we go.

Well, there we go.
Meta has even begun collaborating with massive automakers like the BMW Group to compete with MagicLeap, Microsoft HoloLens 2, and HTC VIVE Flow headsets. Unity has also joined in on the industrial metaverse to deliver tangible results. This is leading to incredible, time-lapsed, and real-time monitoring of factory activities.
CloudXR Client Extensions will also offer a key plugin for Unity Editor, providing developers with bespoke CloudXR applications. The file format has since become a major global standard for world-building, visual effects (VFX), digital twins, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), and robotics.
Moreover, Apple is also pushing its Vision Pro SDK to support its first-party and Unity-supported third-party immersive applications, again in a bid to create a sophisticated piece of hardware with a system-selling lineup of integrated applications and hardware.

You've seen MagicLeap pivot to enterprises. In some cases, there are companies that have dealt with 3D content like the construction companies. So to be clear, we went after the most optimized format for Unity, which are Unity AssetBundles. Bharat: No, we are using Unity AssetBundles, so that's the format.

The ability to have field workers across any industry -- construction, warehouses, logistics, etc. -- actually follow digital information as, like, arrows in space that might route them. The same functionality enables a user to not just have a permissions-based restrictions, but really, what they're supposed to do.
I so prepared a Unity shader that took the frames from the cameras of the Focus and if the pixel wasn’t black-ish, it was showed to the eyes of the user, otherwise, if it was black-ish, showed something else , that is what was “behind the object” (doing everything in a shader, made everything run pretty fast).
This has been a pretty interesting week for me, having spoken at XR Safety Week and Stereopsia, and having published two cool articles about creating innovative SteamVR controllers and using Application SpaceWarp in Unity to almost double the framerate of your application. MagicLeap rebrands and kills the whale.
I remember years ago — I think it was probably, I want to say about five years ago — we had a Unity session in our office, where we did Unity development basics, and we invited a lot of companies from the area in Austin to come to our office, and we would run a Unity training session around 2D/3D asset development.
