Exploring Mixed Reality: Colocate Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro with Figmin XR
Colocating a Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro for mixed reality is possible with Figmin XR. This app supports Tilt Brush and offers tools for creating objects and scenes with physics and lighting.
To colocate the headsets, point a blue pad on the floor in the same direction and location. You need to log into a Figmin account on both headsets. You can use one account for both devices. This setup allows users to create voxel objects and explore Figmin scenes together.
Currently, Figmin XR is in closed beta for Apple Vision Pro. The app’s listing on the Apple Store will be available soon. Creator Javier Davalos is working on this.
Davalos originally began his career in game development but shifted focus to AR after receiving a HoloLens headset. He believes in the future of AR and has developed Figmin XR as a creative sandbox. Initial funding came from various sources, including Magic Leap and Qualcomm.
