@dilmerv.bsky.socialI couldn’t be more excited about where we are now in XR and what’s coming!
@dilmerv.bsky.socialWhen your hobby and passion become your job, every day feels like a new playground. I truly love what I do. Getting to work with the most advanced AI models at Meta, cutting-edge VR tools, and our upcoming Meta VR Glasses headset is honestly incredible.
@dilmerv.bsky.social@dilmerv.bsky.socialMade so much progress with my Hand Grab Baker tool, this is incredible and it is SO FAST! It uses Unity Burst compiler for certain sections of the code. It went from 2-3 mins to bake hand grab poses to 5-7 seconds! 🤯
@dilmerv.bsky.social- Boat Attack: ~10% lower average frame time vs Mono in a quick single-run test. - Happy Harvest: ~15% lower average frame time vs Mono in a quick single-run test. In summary: It’s supposed to be very, very fast when you hit Play in Unity. I’m testing that right now with the Meta XR SDKs!
@dilmerv.bsky.social📊 Few community benchmarks with Unity 6.7’s experimental desktop player (from Unity forums): - C# CPU path tracing, single thread: 17.1× speedup vs Mono and 2.49× vs IL2CPP. - C# CPU path tracing, multiple threads: 17.85× speedup vs Mono and 2.81× vs IL2CPP.
@dilmerv.bsky.social📌 Here're a few great things about it: - Modern JIT compiler to optimize C# execution. - Generational garbage collection for managing memory. - Better debugging with standard .NET tools. - .NET 10 and C# 14 support planned for future updates.

@dilmerv.bsky.socialOkay, let’s do this! Unity 7 Alpha! 🚀
Let’s see what you have to offer! Excited to check out the new XR features!
@dilmerv.bsky.social@dilmerv.bsky.social- Combine microgestures with gaze for low-effort targeting and interactions - Use them for locomotion, paging, media controls, teleportation, and other contextual actions
@dilmerv.bsky.social- Thumb tap and double tap for contextual actions and shortcuts - Swipe left, right, up, or down for directional input - Navigate UI and content almost like using a tiny D-pad with your thumb
@dilmerv.bsky.social@dilmerv.bsky.socialI’m finally caught up on all the Meta Connect work! It was a lot of fun building prototypes and preparing talks. Now I’m moving on to the second episode of VR Developer Level Up, which will cover a lot of what we announced and the practical side of using the new VR tools for VR Glasses and Quest.
@dilmerv.bsky.socialUnity Spark is a new way to create games using prompts, iterate with others, publish, and play, all without writing code. You’ll build with assets created by artists from the Unity Asset Store and refine your game in a new web editor. Closed beta coming soon. Can’t wait to try it!

@dilmerv.bsky.social- XR Quad Views optimizations reduce CPU and GPU work by reusing rendering data and reducing redundant geometry rendering. - IL2CPP improvements eliminate unnecessary boxing and memory allocations in several common value-type operations.
@dilmerv.bsky.social- Temporal Pixel Synthesis support has been added for XR rendering. - XR Quad Views optimizations reduce CPU and GPU work by reusing rendering data and reducing redundant geometry rendering.
@dilmerv.bsky.social- CoreCLR replaces Mono in the Editor, laying the foundation for modern .NET support. - A new code-reloading system uses AssemblyLoadContext, with bigger iteration-speed improvements planned for future releases.
