Story 10 of 16 in the Thursday 29 October editionGoogle integrates XR Blocks into Google AI Studio for WebXR prototyping

Selecting the XR Blocks starter inside Google AI Studio Build prompts Gemini to generate browser-native spatial applications atop Google’s open-source three.js WebXR framework, bypassing native Unity or Unreal SDK setup. Generated projects automatically wire up bare-hand tracking, pinch gestures, depth-mesh physics collisions so virtual objects rest on real-world tables and walls, and Gemini-generated 360-degree 3D holograms built from text descriptions or uploaded photos.
Applications run with zero installation in Chrome version 136 or newer across Android XR headsets and glasses including Samsung Galaxy XR and XREAL AURA. Developers without spatial hardware can test and iterate on camera movement, hand pointers, and scene physics directly in Google AI Studio using XR Blocks’ built-in keyboard-and-mouse desktop simulator before sharing live links.
