Already supporting the Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, and PSVR – Unity will now support Google Daydream.
In terms of who's on the flip side of that marketplace, actually-- we're about to launch our first SDK and that's-- we think of it much more at a Unity level, than necessarily as an Apple or a Google level. Alan: So you're really going kind of the route of AR, meaning kind of Apple and Google foundation. Dominic: Oh, yeah.
Keynote speakers and educational sessions offer insight into these solutions’ impact on various industries, from realestate to healthcare. Unity shared how digital twins were helping its customers unlock new levels of innovation. Meta shared its XR journey for the future and its vision of the impending metaverse.
Users can use HMD devices such as Google Cardboard, Oculus Quest, Rift or HTC Vive to experience an imaginary environment. Augmented Reality (AR) — It overlays digital content in the real world.

As real-time 3D (RT3D) production becomes commonplace alongside the rise of extended reality (XR) services, solutions to accelerate and democratise the production of RT3D assets are starting to increase. RT3D engines such as Adobe Substance, Unity, and Unreal significantly streamline XR production pipelines with easy-to-use tools.
Now, however, countless companies and developers are beginning to embrace this model, including Varjo (with Varjo Teleport ), Unity, and Unreal. Adobe, Apple, Google, and Meta are incorporating the technique into their enterprise apps. We’ve already mentioned Unity and Unreal, for instance. How Does Gaussian Splatting Work?
