🗓️ Agenda:
⏰11:30 AM – 12:00 PM
🧩New Hack Toolkit & Development Workflow
👥Ke Jing, David Gene Oh
⏰ 12:00 PM – 12:30 PM
🛠️ New Toolkit – Hands-on Development Workflow
👥 XR Bootcamp Team
📝 Setup and develop with the new PICO toolkit, including recommended workflows and how to apply world model concepts in your project.
⏰ 12:30 PM – 1:00 PM
🌐 WebSpatial Development Workflow
👥 XR Bootcamp Team
📝 Learn the WebSpatial development process from setup to testing, and how to integrate world model concepts for spatial applications.
Whether you build with Unity, native or web technologies, in this workshop, you learn how PICO's SDKs and toolkits power MR app development for games, video, and productivity, and how WebSpatial, their open-source framework, lets web developers turn standard HTML, CSS, and React projects into spatial XR apps without needing a game engine.
Takeaways:
• Understand PICO's evolving developer toolkit and integration pathways for XR development
• Learn how WebSpatial extends familiar web technologies into immersive 3D space
• See how to transition from a 2D website to a cross-platform spatial app
• Get practical insight into PICO's tools to start building today
• Get a head start for the upcoming Worlds in Action Hack - learn about PICO’s new toolkits and resources for hackers to build with!
Why this topic matters:
PICO is tackling XR development from both sides: their SDK gives engine developers full XR features and toolkits, while WebSpatial opens the door for web developers to build spatial apps using React. Together, these tools mean that whether you're a Game or Web developer, there's now a clear path to building spatial apps.
This session is for anyone who wants to understand how the XR developer landscape is expanding and how to be part of it.
