Apple Vision Pro gains Niantic tech to open up more AR experiences
/Niantic will be supporting the Apple Vision Pro with its 8th Wall Metaversal Deployment, which could make it easier for developers to bring WebAR experiences to Apple's mixed-reality headset.
One of the challenges of app development is to make it work across multiple different hardware and software platforms. With Niantic's announcement on Wednesday, developers keen to bring their VR and AR experiences from other headsets to the Apple Vision Pro now have some assistance.
Niantic's 8th Wall Metaversal Deployment is a platform for experiencing WebAR content. Originally launched in 2021 for smartphones, tablets, and computers, it was updated in 2023 with support for Meta's Quest 3 headset.
