Building for cross-platform wearable AI and mobile experiences

Yiqi Zhao, Product Design Lead, Meta Reality Labs at Meta gave this talk at the Generative AI Summit in Washington DC, 2025.

I’m Yiqi, the design lead for Meta Reality Labs, the organization that makes many AR/VR glasses, like the Ray-Ban and the Meta Quest series.

Today, I bring a video along with a topic that might not be something you’ve thought about deeply before. But I want you to consider this—can you be a creator?

Can you be someone who makes content and actually makes money from it? Can you create fun, engaging experiences within the new developer ecosystem that’s emerging with devices like the Meta Quest, the Meta Ray-Ban glasses, and the incredible capabilities of AI? Would this be possible?

I want to talk about how you can unlock your creative power and, more importantly, how you can leverage AI to be fully ready for this new platform and the opportunities that come with it.

The rise of immersive content and Meta Horizon

From the video, you might have noticed the rich, detailed 3D immersive content. This isn’t something that’s coming in the future—it’s happening right now on our platform.

We recently rebranded our platform under the Meta Horizon name. Essentially, everything is becoming Horizon.

Meta Horizon is more than just a name change—it represents our vision of a platform that connects people in ways that are richer, more interactive, and more immersive. We want people to socialize, engage, and find their communities in a way that feels natural, just as they do in the real world.

Unlocking your creative power

We are seeing a shift in devices from traditional screens—laptops, phones, tablets—to mixed-reality experiences. The shift is massive.

If you look at traditional devices, they have always had limitations. They are separate from us; they require us to interact with them from a distance. But mixed reality devices, like VR headsets and AR glasses, are different.

How to Mix Music with Audio Plugins

Mixing music can be a daunting task, especially for beginners. However, with the right tools and techniques, anyone can create a professional-sounding mix. One essential tool for music mixing is an audio plugin. In this article, we will discuss how to mix a music with audio plugin and provide some tips for using them effectively. Understanding Audio Plugins Choosing the Right Mixing Plugins Setting Up Your Mixing Session Using EQ Plugins Utilizing Compression Plugins Adding Reverb Plugins Experimenting with Different Plugins

Understanding Audio Plugins

Before we dive into the mixing process, it's important to understand what audio plugins are and how they work. Audio plugins are software programs that can be used within a digital audio workstation (DAW) to enhance or manipulate audio signals. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as equalization, compression, and reverb. There are many different types of audio plugins available, each with its own unique features and functions.

Choosing the Right Mixing Plugins

When it comes to mixing music, having the right plugins is crucial. There are many different mixing plugins available, so it's important to choose ones that suit your needs and style of music. Some popular mixing plugins include EQs, compressors, and reverbs. It's also important to consider the quality of the plugins, as well as their compatibility with your DAW.

Setting Up Your Mixing Session

Before you start mixing, it's important to set up your session properly. This includes organizing your tracks, setting levels, and routing your audio. It's also a good idea to create a template for your mixing sessions, so you can easily load your favorite plugins and settings for each new project.

Using EQ Plugins

EQ plugins are essential for balancing the frequency content of your mix. They allow you to boost or cut specific frequencies, which can help to bring out certain elements of your mix. When using EQ plugins, it's important to use them sparingly and make subtle adjustments. It's also a good idea to use a spectrum analyzer to help identify problem frequencies.

Utilizing Compression Plugins

Compression plugins are used to control the dynamic range of your mix. They can help to even out the levels of your tracks and make them sound more cohesive. When using compression plugins, it's important to set the attack and release times appropriately for each track. It's also a good idea to use multiple compressors in series for more control over your mix.

Adding Reverb Plugins

Reverb plugins are used to add depth and space to your mix. They can help to create a sense of realism and make your mix sound more natural. When using reverb plugins, it's important to choose the right type of reverb for your mix. For example, a plate reverb may work well for vocals, while a hall reverb may be better suited for drums.

Experimenting with Different Plugins

One of the best things about using audio plugins for mixing is the ability to experiment with different sounds and effects. Don't be afraid to try out different plugins and settings to see what works best for your mix. You may even discover new techniques and sounds that you wouldn't have thought of otherwise. By following these tips and techniques, you can effectively mix a music with audio plugin and create a professional-sounding mix. Remember to choose the right plugins for your needs, set up your session properly, and don't be afraid to experiment. With practice and patience, you can become a master at mixing music with audio plugins. Read the full article

もともとは10年ほど前にTumblrにすごくハマっていて。いろんな人をフォローしたらかっこいい写真や色が洪水のように出てきて、もう自分で絵を描かなくて良いじゃん、ってなったんです。それで何年も画像を集めていって、そこで集まった色のイメージやモチーフ、レンズの距離感など画面構成を抽象化して、いまの感覚にアウトプットしています。画像の持つ情報量というものが作品の影響になっていますね。

よく「発明は1人でできる。製品化には10人かかる。量産化には100人かかる」とも言われますが、実際に、私はネオジム磁石を1人で発明しました。製品化、量産化については住友特殊金属の仲間たちと一緒に、短期間のうちに成功させました。82年に発明し、83年から生産が始まったのですから、非常に早いです。そしてネオジム磁石は、ハードディスクのＶＣＭ(ボイスコイルモーター)の部品などの電子機器を主な用途として大歓迎を受け、生産量も年々倍増して、2000年には世界で1万トンを超えました。
