Meta Reality Labs / Meta Connect 2025
Blossom Buddy
A hands-on Meta Connect 2025 showcase for the new AI Building Blocks in Meta’s XR SDK for Unity.
- Contribution
- Technical showcase development, AI integration and developer presentation
Work completed at Meta Reality Labs. Technical showcase and AI integration; developer sessions presented with Dilmer Valecillos and Jake Steinerman.
Conference showcase / 2025
The challenge
Show developers how the new AI capabilities could become a complete mixed reality experience, and let Connect attendees try it for themselves.
The work
We built the complete technical showcase and integrated the AI Building Blocks into a playful mixed reality experience. We presented the implementation alongside Dilmer Valecillos and Jake Steinerman in the Connect developer sessions. The same experience ran at the Passthrough Experiences demo kiosk, where attendees could try the capabilities hands-on.
The showcase had to serve two settings: explaining an implementation to developers and letting visitors experience it directly. Building around one complete Unity experience connected the technical walkthrough with what people could try at the kiosk.
- Complete Unity technical showcase with AI Building Blocks integration
- Developer-session demonstrations with Dilmer Valecillos and Jake Steinerman
- Hands-on experience for the Meta Connect 2025 demo kiosk
The result
One working showcase supported both developer education and hands-on demonstrations at Meta Connect 2025. Its character and flower artwork also appears in this website’s interactive scene.
