This nice dandelion in WebXR has been fully coded using a local LLM. In today's post, I examine the Agentic AI workflow of the Meta Immersive WebSDK, which is made to automatically create WebXR experiences by writing prompts in natural language. The cool thing of this solution is that thanks to dedicated MCP tools, the AI agents not only can develop the experiences, but they can also fully test them in the browser to see if they are working, and take action if there are issueS! I made various tests with it, and verified that it is a promising solution, but it is still actually in the early stages. Let's say the system kinda works, but it's slower and less precise than what I hoped for. Since I have a powerful DELL PC with an NVIDIA RTX 6000, I also tried a fully local development using Qwen3 or the new Gemma4 model. The performances were definitely worse, but still, I managed in the end with a lot of perseverance to obtain what I wanted, as you can see from the short video. It's definitely a technology to keep an eye on. If you want the full details of my hands-on with the AI flow of Immersive Web SDK, you can find them in my post: skarredghost.com/2026/04/23/met… #VirtualReality #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Meta [Disclaimer: I mentioned the DELL PC because I'm a DELL Pro Precision Ambassador, and I have been given a PC to make cool tests with it and share my results online.

@alex_advanced_ Hard times for XR and gaming in general..

@SkarredGhost Wtf is literally going on with everything right now

VR Extraction Dungeon Crawler ‘Reave’ Has Been Cancelled After Months in Open Beta roadtovr.com/reave-vr-dunge… #VirtualReality #VR

@KathyRaynaVR I'm pretty sure it will go sold out pretty very fast!

@SkarredGhost I set an alarm to ensure I don't oversleep through the launch hour! LOL I got a feeling the servers will all catch on fire and likely sell out!

Happy Steam Controller Day!

@Egon_the_Dog @LambdaGen Where are both of them?

@SkarredGhost @LambdaGen Steam Machine? Where’s Steam Frame, man?

Gabe Newell shows up in a promotional video of 'Leviathan' from Oceanco, one of the yacht companies he acquired recently.

@SmallBaguette Exactly, the second part is the key. If the user can activate that mode, I'm fine with it. If it is like the default mode, not much

@SkarredGhost I don't see why people are suddenly so keen on preserving the artist's vision when visual mods have existed for decades and are widely celebrated. As long as it's an option then let the end user decide how they want to enjoy the game they are playing.

Roblox announced its experimentation with "Roblox Hybrid Architecture", which is basically NVIDIA's DLSS5: a way to enhance the current view of the game using a world model to add more details. The results of this technology are impressive, but we can read in the comments from the community the same considerations that happened when NVIDIA demoed its model: the graphical result is surely stunning, but it is not deterministic and goes to change the artistic direction of those who created the game. In the video below, you can see it in action: - Top Left: original game - Top Right: 3D data of the view - Bottom Left: current lab results applying AI upscaling - Bottom Right: theoretical results when the model is released You can read more details here: about.roblox.com/newsroom/2026/… What do you think about it? #gaming #roblox #technology

@hunter_spatial In the end we'll discover he's the real ceo of apple

@SkarredGhost But Mark knows everything. Nothing gets released without him knowing about it. /s

@CodeByNZ It seems a bait story to me. The part about McDonald's is very suspicious, considering that it is the joke we all make about our plan B if we fail as developers, but we rarely actually do that

This guy is a software engineer with 18 years of experience. Now, working at McDonald's. One day, his company decided 2 AI guys could do what his team of 12 used to do. As a result, got laid off. He sent 100+ applications, but didn't get any jobs. One HR rep literally told him, "CS degree is useless now". Now he's flipping burgers while grinding through rejections. He knows 200 developers in the same boat. And the executives who made this call? They are fine, they always are...

@NimaZeighami Depends on the tone. May also mean Your Horse :D

My name in Mandarin Chinese means "your mother", which is a grave insult. Makes initial introductions during business meetings...complicated.

@Dilmerv You are unstoppable!

@SkarredGhost Thanks Tony! I also appreciate your posts regarding IWSDK + MCP, I am working on a new video about it next.

📣 Today, I’m excited to walk you through Unity’s NEW AI offering, Meta MCP Extensions, and agentic tools to demonstrate how we can 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗔 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗩𝗥/𝗩𝗥 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 from start to finish using these AI tools in a practical way.  🎥 Full video available at: youtu.be/bWxIF903t_I 📌 Here’s what I’m covering today: - Unity VR project setup (with OpenXR plugins) - Installing the Unity AI Assistant and demos - Configuring Unity MCP + Meta MCP Extensions - Configuring Claude Code & MCPs - Building a VR/MR Basketball Game with the Unity AI Assistant, Claude Agent, and external Claude Code CLI - A lot of iteration with Claude Code + the Meta XR Simulator 💡Also, it’s been a while since I've posted a new video, and I’m genuinely excited to be back, especially with a topic like this that I know many devs have been waiting for.

@NimaZeighami Next month I'll hopefully be in the US! Let's meet!

@SkarredGhost Come visit and see my NEO in person! Also maybe we can let you teleop it using a VR headset! It’ll be like you teleported to me!

I’m proud to be a Day 0 (day before official launch day) pre-order of NEO. I can’t wait to get mine and share my experience with it with all of you! 1X is an incredible team with a generational vision.

@failedtorender Absolutely! But I found the interaction mechanic interesting

@SkarredGhost Robots will never replace comedy

"However, Pixi [#AR app] is incorporating some interesting interactive elements: The cat comedian, for instance, delivers one dad joke after another until the app detects the viewer cracking a smile via the phone’s front-facing camera. After that, the character thanks the viewer for their attention like a comedian ending their show and delivers a personalized greeting message." This is pretty interesting: an AR app on the phone that does not only place objects in the space, but also reacts to the user and environment lowpass.cc/p/visio-pro-ph… via @jank0

@Tazerface16 Neither am I while writing this answer

People understand that LLMs aren't actually "thinking," right?

Well, as a developer, I can say AI makes me faster. Not 10x like some gurus say, but like 1.3-1.5x. Once the architecture is set (I still do that manually), writing code just becomes a rather obvious tasks for many things and so can be delegated to AI. Of course an appropriate review then is needed to guarantee the code is as expected, but latest frontier models write pretty decent code once they know what they should do.

@ConradEduard i have often wondered (here) the same.

Why is the AI backlash growing? Outside of coding (where there is clear value), and a handful of other domains (e.g. brainstorming), Generative AI has been a net negative for society. GenAI has been undermining secondary and college education, opening up mass surveillance, increasing disinformation, delusions, impersonation, phishing, and other forms of cybercrime, nonconsensual deep fake porn, bias in employment and other domains, and economic disparity, drowning the world in slop and unwanted, over-leveraged environment-damaging data centers that risk causing a recession. Simultaneously it has empowered a bunch of people who want to privatize almost all the gains while leave all the downsides to society, taking almost zero responsibility. I don’t think we are better off than we were four years ago. Some of this is technical (LLMs aren’t reliable), some of it is political/economic (such as the utter lack of responsible regulation). Most of this was predictable. Almost none of it is good. All that said, I honestly believes some future form of AI might be great. But Generative AI has hurt more than it has helped, and been managed irresponsibly. It’s no wonder many people have had enough.
