Register yourself and your team now (up to maximum of 4 members) for the chance to network with Meta product and marketing experts, as well as fellow innovators. You’ll learn about the latest updates to capabilities across our 3 core pillars within PresencePlatform: Mixed Reality: Passthrough, Scene, Spatial Anchors, Depth & Mesh Social Presence: Movement SDK Interactions: Hand tracking, Interaction SDK, Voice SDK and Audio SDK We're excited to welcome you and see your ideas come to life through the experiences you create!

• Compelling Concept
  The experience is different from what's currently on Quest and best exemplifies a successful standalone app could be within its category. We're concepts that have the potential to attract, engage, and retain a meaningful number of users on Quest.
• Use of Capabilities
  The experience is only possible in MR, or with the selected SDKs. The experience illustrates how these capabilities can create compelling, differentiated experiences.
• Quality / Implementation
  The experience is well executed, with a quality user experience once the experience launches. The experience has polish & is performant in Quest.
