At Meta Connect 2024, L+R and Meta introduced Media View, an open-source spatial application designed to view various media types on the Quest. Developed in collaboration with Meta, Media View leverages the newly released Meta Spatial SDK, allowing mobile developers and product design teams to create immersive, spatial applications for Quest.
This launch marks a significant milestone for L+R, pioneers in the field of applied emerging technologies for their clients, who initially entered the virtual reality space with their early VR prototyping tool LookSee VR in 2017. Building on that foundation, L+R continues to push the boundaries of spatial computing, applying their decade-long expertise in mobile design and development to this next wave of innovation. This announcement follows Alex Queudot’s panel at Meta Connect 2024, where he highlighted the practical applications of Meta’s Spatial SDK.
Alex Levin, Co-Founder of L+R, remarked, “The release of Media View showcases our evolution as a company. Since our efforts with LookSee VR, we’ve grown our capabilities in spatial computing design. This latest tool reflects our commitment to creating immersive, interactive experiences that integrate seamlessly with modern digital ecosystems.”
By utilizing the Meta Spatial SDK, Media View provides a flexible and scalable platform for developers to enhance media experiences across industries such as entertainment, education, and corporate communication.
Ivan Leider, director of engineering at L+R, added, “Media View, powered by Meta’s Spatial SDK, offers developers a versatile toolkit for creating custom media experiences that adapt to varied business needs. It’s an exciting step forward in how we engage with media in virtual reality.”
Media View supports a wide range of media, from 2D photos and videos to 360° panoramas and emerging formats like Ray-Ban Meta content. Users can immerse themselves in their media with 360-degree views or experience a dynamic environment through multi-panel viewing, where media surrounds and interacts with them in every direction, creating a fully immersive experience on the Meta Quest platform.
With projects like Media View, L+R continues to lead the way in immersive technologies, offering businesses and developers the tools to create engaging and innovative virtual experiences. As a trailblazer in the evolution from mobile and desktop applications to spatial computing, L+R remains committed to shaping the future of digital interactions through cutting-edge solutions.
For developers and businesses looking to explore the potential of Media View and harness the power of virtual reality for their own projects, L+R invites you to connect with our team and discover how we can collaborate to bring your vision to life.
