Why it matters
More Quest and Meta glasses apps can get spatial layouts without a full rebuild.
Worth a look if you own a Quest and watch Disney+ on it.
The details
- Meta VR Layout SDK adds spatial panels and windows around a standard Android app window; fully supported on Horizon OS 2.7 and later.
- Meta VR Gaze SDK helps tune Look and Pinch input; it is in early access and cannot be used in shipping apps yet.
- Meta VR UI Set SDK is a Jetpack Compose design system with light and dark schemes.
- The NBA app is one of the first to use the Layout SDK.
- A major Disney+ update for Quest arrives in November 2026 with a new UI, 3D media and visionOS environments.
