XR Creators Connect #5

Welcome to the fifth XR Creators Connect meetup, at which we bring together the XR community in The Netherlands!

In this edition we are looking behind the scenes of several recent XR projects, learning more about what went into creating, design, building and launching them.

This edition will be on Wednesday February 12th, 2025 at Beeld & Geluid (Theater 1) at the Media Park in Hilversum.

We're working on the full line-up, and are excited to share the first speaker:

• Sander Sneek from Wonderment by Design will give us a behind the scenes look at Programming Blocks (
  ). He will share insights into how this innovative mixed reality educational app was created—from concept to prototype as part of the Meta Start Incubation Program. Learn about the design process, challenges, and how the app leverages cutting-edge Meta Presence Platform features like passthrough, spatial anchors, and hand tracking to teach coding in a playful, intuitive way.
