Did you know that the Godot editor can run on standalone VR headsets like the Meta Quest 2/3, Pico 4 or Samsung Galaxy XR?
This can allow you to build a game entirely in VR, without using a desktop or laptop computer at all!
In this talk, David Snopek and Logan Lang of Godot's XR team, will:
- Tell the story of "Expedition to Blobotopia", a VR game which they built in one week for the Godot Wild Jam #81, working entirely on Meta Quest 3 headsets
- Explain the advantages doing gamedev in the headset
- Share tips and tricks for how you can do it too
- Demonstrate the newly released GABE, which allows running full Android Gradle builds on the headset
- Give a live demo of the editor running on headset!
Come discover a new way to add VR directly into your game development workflow :-)
Folks curious about running the Godot editor in VR - beginners welcome!
