Easy on-ramp to bring apps to XR

Reach users on XR devices with your existing compatible mobile apps. No changes required.

Adaptive layouts ensure your app works across devices. Existing large screen apps are optimized for XR. No changes required.
Take advantage of spatial panels, 3D models, and spatial environments to design an immersive experience. Or use Unity, OpenXR, or WebXR to build a fully customized immersive experience.

Explore Android development tools

Create XR experiences using familiar tools, extended for XR.
Create a new device flow, device manager, and layout inspector. Use the Android XR emulator to test apps directly on your machine, with or without access to a physical device.
Includes everything you need to design an XR app. Find UI and interaction recommendations, an automatic layout engine, preset layouts, and spatial UI compositions.
Brings perception capabilities for your app to understand and interact with real-world features such as anchors and semantic segmentation.
Includes the building blocks to add immersive content to your Android XR app. The SceneCore library supports spatial entity and environment APIs.
Provides a foundation to create user-friendly apps that follow established patterns of interaction, spatial, and visual design.
Use the 3D tool of your choice to create glTF or GLB files. Examples: Blender, Maya, Spline
Try out the Hello Android XR sample app, optimized for an immersive experience. See firsthand how spatial panels and environments come together in a real-world application.

Build with Unity, OpenXR, or WebXR

Anyone familiar with 3D development can build with the popular Unity realtime 3D engine, the industry standard OpenXR, or the readily-accessible WebXR. These frameworks give you the flexibility to build the XR experiences you want.
Build apps that can target multiple platforms with Unity's established OpenXR support and developer ecosystem.
Develop with Unity
Build fast at lower costs using a common set of APIs to develop XR applications that work across a range of devices.
Develop with OpenXR
Build meaningful XR experiences directly in a browser using WebXR’s known and trusted standards and technologies.
Develop with WebXR
