It's almost time for hardware season, which peaks in September and October, but we're still clearly in summer break territory. The flow of XR developer news picked up a bit this month, for instance with Niantic Spatial's SDK release on Meta Quest, so read
This July was perhaps the slowest month in XR developer news that I've seen so far, coming straight after last month's deluge of news. Everyone is clearly on vacation, and rightfully so. Let's say you blast through the news below and are itching for
This might just be the longest edition of XR Developer News yet, with Apple's WWDC and Augmented World Expo happening almost simultaneously. Lots of interesting news, so I hope this roundup is useful! Apple WWDC is always fun. Throughout the year not that many things are announced on
With Google I/O happening and Android XR slowly working its way to launch, it's no surprise XR developer news was mostly dominated by Google. Next month should be interesting as well, with WWDC and AWE USA on the horizon. Enjoy! Google AI, AI, AI, XR, AI. I
A bit of a shorter edition this month, both because there wasn't a great deal of news and because of a vacation forcing me to keep things a bit shorter this time. Still, plenty of interesting things going on! For my Dutch readers, be sure to check out
Even though the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco isn't an XR event specifically, the major XR platforms tend to converge on it and use it as a podium for XR developer news. Lots of interesting news therefore this month. Before we dive in, I just wanted
After a very quiet January, this month was once again full of XR developer news, as everyone seems to have woken up from their holiday hibernation. As always there are quite a few Meta updates, but plenty about other players as well. The event calendar is also starting to shape
As one of the organizers of XR Creators Connect, the largest XR meetup in The Netherlands, I noticed we're starting to get more and more questions from people looking for a job in the XR sector in NL on whether we know of any opportunities. Hence below you&
I was expecting December to be a quiet month in XR development, but then Google dropped its Android XR bombshell. Turns out however that everyone decided to take it slow in January instead. So, this month is by far the shortest edition so far, as we wait for the ramp
Here I was thinking it would be a quiet December, when Google decided to announce Android XR. Long rumoured, finally announced, but still a long way from being in the hands of consumers, I find it hard to guess what impact it will have. However it turns out though, more
Although we're approaching the end of the year, the world of XR is still pushing out developer news at full speed. While Meta was pretty quiet, others like Snap and Pico filled the void. Read on for a complete overview! I'll be at Immersive Tech Week
We're past Meta Connect, but we're still very much in peak XR season, as the holiday period is still a while away. Meta is blasting out news as always (spending a billion a month will have that effect), but Snap and Niantic are also quite active
So, Meta Connect has come and gone, and it was definitely an interesting one this year! The Orion AR glasses were clearly the highlight of the show, but there was plenty of interesting developer news as well. Quest 3 (which had been completely leaked in the months leading up to
With Meta Connect coming up, I thought it wise to get all the September XR developer news leading up to it out of the way, as Meta will surely drown out everything else very soon (and provide ample material for a special edition of this newsletter). Big news has obviously
As this fall is looking to shape up as an extremely interesting one for XR, I thought it might be useful to share which sources I tend to keep a close eye on for XR-related news. Some of them developer-specific, others more general. In my experience there's a
It's summer and things are a bit quiet, which is nice considering what seems to be in store for us in XR in the next three months. Obviously Meta Connect at the end of September is the peak of XR season, but Snap, Google & Samsung and HTC
As we're heading into the summer period, the XR developer news cycle notably slowed down. As a result this month's edition is a bit shorter than usual (also because I'm publishing a week earlier because of vacation plans). Still, there are some interesting bits
After mid-June's special edition on WWDC, it's time for another regular monthly roundup of XR developer news. But with Augmented World Expo last week, if definitely wasn't quiet. Throughout this edition you'll find several references to the most interesting AWE presentations on
Apple's WWDC contained a ton of visionOS 2 updates for XR developers, spread across no less than 29 separate prerecorded sessions which became available throughout the week. I've gone through all of them to sort out the most interest news and figure out which ones are
Somehow this month felt like a slower month in XR developer news, and I think that was mainly due to Google I/O being very very light on XR. There was some interesting AR news there, but we'll have to keep waiting for a while longer to see
Welcome to my monthly roundup of XR Developer News! As we're gearing up for developer conference season, Meta decided to drop a 'Horizon OS'-shaped bombshell in advance of the competition laying out the next phase of their plans. Let's have a look at
Welcome to my monthly roundup of XR Developer News! For the first time since the beginning of the year, the XR world was not completely dominated by Apple Vision Pro news. Definitely a breath of fresh air to see so a bit of a balance between the two behemoths (Meta
Welcome to the second XR Developer News monthly round up! It was an interesting month again this time with lots and lots of Vision Pro / vision OS news (unsurprisingly), which drowned out the rest of the XR ecosystem for a few weeks. But, as you can see below, there'
Hi all, I'm trying something new. I couldn't really find any one spot keeping track of all things XR development, so I thought I'd give it a go myself. Hope it proves useful to others! In this edition a lot of Apple Vision Pro
