I’ve got some big, somewhat belated news. I’ve left Meta a couple weeks ago. It’s been a great ride and I feel really fortunate to have gotten a chance to work with this team and this space. On to new adventures now, starting with a healthy dose of time off 😛.

This is an internal capability for testing purposes. It's not intended for end users. Emulating controllers with hands is unsolved, probably unsolvable problem. We may at some point open this up for devs and curious users who want to experiment, but it will never be mainstream.

Interested in using micro-gestures for locomotion in an app you're building? DM me, we're opening a small beta test program!

Will filing a 5th support ticket with GoogleFi restore my international service after two years of it being down? @googlefi you're free to vote as well :).

Hey @googlefi, my phone doesn't work when I'm abroad (France, Canada, NZ, etc.). Ongoing for 2 years, tried everything, support won't escalate. When I contact support from abroad, you tell to call back from the US. When I call from the US, call back from abroad. What gives?.

Great article from @DevinReimer . Why you need to start planning for Hands:.

Ugh. help me out here.

Microgestures, for those who missed the connect announcement:

Question for VR Hands devs: Would Hand microgestures still be useful if they conflicted with pinch. I.e. no disambiguation between tap and pinch, you may have to choose between using one or the other.

To all those out there experiencing issues with Hands on Quest 2 or 3 - would love to hear what app you were on and what interaction failed for you? Your feedback will help drive the next wave of improvements.

What's are some features you'd like to see in our Quest controllers that we don't support today?.

Should we ship a sample of how we did this?.

Watch the presentation we made at Connect on inputs and interactions:

We've just open source Move Fast, our Hands + Interaction SDK fitness demo app! Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you're building a Hands app and have questions / need support.

@PopupMartin @markeahogan Though Move Fast is available on App Lab, you should wait for v56 to rollout if you want to try it out with Hands 2.2. I suggest waiting. Also - it's not a full game. Don't expect a complete experience :).

Very excited about this next release. We've massively reduced latency, especially on fast movements. Makes a huge difference for fitness apps. Can't wait for y'all to try out Move Fast, a demo we built to showcase improvements. Amazing work by @PopupMartin, @markeahogan and team.

The user experience of Firebase Auth is catastrophically bad. There is no good documentation for using SwiftUI, importing FirbaseUI cocoa pods breaks my app. Google Sign-In SDK v7.0.0 brings obscure breaking changes. What's a good alternative?.

Excited about this!.

Check out these really cool explorations of using gaze for MR interactions. Vova is really spot on on many of those. IOT interactions are my personal favorites.

RT @V_Kurbatov: In this exploration, I used the gaze on Quest Pro to contextualize #MR interactions. I wanted to test all of them in the s….
