Best Practices for VR/MR Capture on Meta Quest
Today we’re excited to launch a new, downloadable playbook containing the latest capture techniques and best practices for VR and MR apps on Meta Quest. We’ve designed this resource as a comprehensive A-Z guide to help developers of all levels represent their apps on Meta Quest headsets with the best quality possible.
This playbook will help you understand how to capture polished video recordings for any category of app—giving you the tools to produce impactful assets that evoke excitement and drive conversions in the Meta Quest Store and App Lab.
Our VR/MR media experts have compiled detailed walkthroughs in the following areas to give you a comprehensive approach to VR and MR app captures:
- Creating the Story: By leveraging filmmaking techniques with VR and MR, you can refine the presentation of your experience and focus on capturing key moments like important interactions or features that leave a lasting impression.
- Recording and Editing: Get recommendations and optimal settings for how to capture first- and third-person perspectives for MR and VR experiences with Meta Quest headsets.
- Advanced Techniques for Capture: Don’t settle for less than the best—dive deeper with additional tips for techniques and software, including advanced third-person camera tools for MR apps. These methods require more work and resources, but they have the potential to deliver smooth, quality captures that turn heads and get the attention of your target audience.
- Post-Production Best Practices: Maintain pristine visual quality during post-production with steps for exporting captures, and find a list of the top features you should add to your app so the VR window on your PC has the highest quality capture.
