The future of XR isnβt in a controller, itβs in your hands πβ¨
Weβve made hands-first experiences faster, smoother, and more intuitive than ever. Check out our two newest capabilities:
β
XR Hand Capture: Record real hand poses on-device and turn them into reusable gesture assets.
β
Hands Simulation: Test pinches, grabs, and custom gestures directly inside the Unity Editor; no headset needed.
Ready to build for hands?

If you can build for Android, you can build for Meta Quest.
Next up in our Build Faster, Earn More series: AI tooling for Android developers that automates the VR-specific differences so you can use the same workflows you already know.

4/ Performance tuning. π
Meta VR CLI performance capture grabs a trace from your Quest device in one command. Then, AI breaks down frame timing, GPU costs, and bottlenecks in seconds so you know exactly what to fix.

5/ The don/doff cycle π₯½
Meta XR Simulator keeps you at your desk for testing, but when you do go in-headset, Runtime AI in the Immersive Debugger lets you voice-prompt scene changes without taking it off.

Hereβs a fun one: the AI developer tools we shipped for Quest a few weeks ago also work on Portal devices! So if you have one, itβs now also a dev kit. Describe an app, deploy over USB. Hereβs what I built for my Portal, a centralized home hub where I can see and control our smart devices.

Manually debugging Meta Quest performance issues? There's a better way.
Horizon Debug Bridge (hzdb) connects your AI assistant to 40 Meta Quest development tools to help you capture traces, analyze the data, and find bottlenecks faster.

3/ Identify performance bottlenecks fast β
Use hzdb's performance tools to catch frame spikes from Perfetto traces in seconds. Your agent reads the trace and breaks down frame timing, GPU costs, and where your budget is going so you can optimize in a fraction of the time.
