Apple Vision Pro is not only a tool for developers to deliver unparalleled spatial experiences, but it is also changing the way developers create these immersive journeys. Developers can now immerse themselves in AR and use the infinite screens of visionOS to not only bring their ideas to life but also to iterate and multitask, setting a new standard for the future of development. Coupled with 8th Wall’s Cloud Editor, this integration enables creators to construct compelling real-world WebAR experiences from within the very fabric of augmented reality itself. It’s a transformative approach, blending creation and experience into a seamless workflow that opens up new realms of productivity and innovation for developers.

Developing immersive WebXR experiences with Niantic 8th Wall and Apple Vision Pro

How would you reimagine your reality? For the past couple weeks, I've been prototyping with the Quest 3, and it's been an incredible journey. Venturing out into real-world settings wearing the device—parks, alleyways, my living room, bustling downtown areas, and even the iconic SF ferry building—I’ve certainly received some interesting looks. However, this device has transported me into alternate realms the moment I put it on, my surroundings morph; suddenly, I'm walking on the moon, watching my living room transform into a retro video game space, or gazing up as a majestic whale glides over the San Francisco skyline. It's become clear: devices like these are heralding a seismic shift in how we perceive and engage with the world around us.
Peeling back the layers, the immersive experiences I’m about to share are crafted from a potent blend of technology. I've harnessed the capabilities of 8th Wall, Blender, and, on occasion, integrated the marvels of artificial intelligence.
In building these prototypes, I’ve learned a lot. In this post, I’ll walk you through how our WebAR tools can help you, whether you're a developer, a creative professional, or a curious experimenter, to use the Meta Quest 3 to create immersive experiences and tell stories in your own reimagined reality!
