Develop
Overview
Updated: May 14, 2025
Motifs are blueprints for recurring ideas in the Horizon OS development community. They are not full applications, but recurring aspects of applications that rely on multiple technical features and APIs. MR Motifs are created to teach best practices, inspire developers, and spark new ideas.
MR Motifs Library
We're continuously building new MR content to introduce emerging features and inspire your work. Here's what's available now:
- Passthrough Transitioning – Seamlessly fade between Passthrough and VR
- Shared Activities in Mixed Reality – Make people feel truly physically present with each other
- Instant Content Placement – Use the Depth API to create effects not possible otherwise
- Colocated Experiences – Create seamless colocated experiences with ease
Starting Scene
All scenes can be accessed from the
MRMotifsHome scene located at Assets/MRMotifs/MRMotifsHome.unity. This home scene includes the Menu Panel prefab and script, which displays the scene list and interaction options. The menu can be toggled with the menu button or start gesture using hands or controllers.Optional Multiplayer Features
The
MRMotifsHome scene includes a GameObject called [MR Motif] Quest Platform Setup. It uses an Entitlement Check from the Multiplayer Building Blocks, and a component called InvitationAcceptanceHandlerMotif.InvitationAcceptanceHandlerMotif manages friend invites for multiplayer motifs. It checks user entitlement and handles destination routing for invited friends. Current destinations are:- mrmotif_chess
- mrmotif_movie
- mrmotif_colocationDiscovery
- mrmotif_spaceSharing
To use this pattern in your own app, update these destinations with your own scenes and APIs. You can configure destinations in the Meta Horizon Developer Dashboard under Engagement → Destinations.
