Meta XR Simulator is a lightweight OpenXR runtime built for developers and enables you to simulate Meta VR devices and features on the OpenXR API level.

Version 207.0 Release Notes

Overview

Version 207 introduces Look and Pinch, camera-driven hand tracking, session video recording, and support for Meta VR Glasses, alongside a range of rendering and stability fixes.

What's New

Look and Pinch is now available as a fully supported input mode (previously gated). Select it to drive the app with gaze plus pinch gestures, with Point-and-Click settings preserved when switching modes.
  • Meta VR Glasses support — simulate Meta VR Glasses, including field-of-view simulation, variable IPD, and gaze tracking.
  • Camera-driven hand tracking — drive simulated hands from your webcam, with independent controls for camera hand tracking and camera head tracking, and per-finger pinch strength reported to the app. Includes a per-hand toggle so you can mix a tracked hand with a simulated one.
  • Session video recording — record the simulator's composited output to an MP4 with a native H.264 encoder, including live camera hand tracking, driven through a new recording control API.
  • Meta VR CLI as XR Simulator frontend - XR Sim can now run headlessly with AI Agents if they use Meta’s VR CLI + Meta’s Agentic Tools Skills.

    • What's Fixed

  • Fixed several Vulkan defects in compositor readback on Windows, improving capture and recording reliability.
  • Fixed frame capture breaking after a swapchain was recreated mid-session.
  • Fixed a class of Vulkan failures when the graphics device changes during a session.

    • Known Issues

  • Enabling Vulkan Validation Layers causes a memory leak. Make sure they are disabled
  • Enabling XROperator input blocks subsequent mouse and keyboard issues requiring a restart from XR Simulator
  • VRS Recording does not capture user interactions in the scene
  • Hands can move out of viewport when moving an object using pinch interaction
  • Changing devices for scenes using Gaze tracking & SES can cause Unity crashes on the first try.
