In January, we kicked off our 10-part series, Journey into XR Development, with the Spatial Computing Cloud Advocates and the Microsoft Reactor. In our first episode, we provided a lay of the land and explored approaches for getting started with XR development in addition to tools, platforms, SDKs, hardware, etc. For our second episode, we shared considerations for planning your very first app. As we enter the month of February, we're excited to transition into sharing more about low-code/no-code apps as well as an overview of interaction models for XR apps.
Unfamiliar with the series? No worries! This year, our teams have come together to bring you a 10-part series dedicated to helping you get started with your XR development journey. Created with the true beginner in mind, this series has been curated to guide you along your journey in getting started with XR featuring sessions for both developers and non-developers alike.
As a reminder, we'll be hosting events on a bi-weekly basis featuring members from the Spatial Computing Cloud Advocacy team. The next two events for February have been scheduled and we're looking forward to having you come hang out with us live!
