This documentation uses kit-app-template as the starting point for building Kit XR applications. The template ships with an embedded Kit SDK – you do not need to download or install the Kit SDK separately.

Note

Windows Long Path Support:

Ensure long path support is enabled, or place your workspace in a shallow directory (e.g., C:\dev\).

Remote Desktop Compatibility#

If you access your workstation remotely, be aware of display and GPU limitations:

Tool

Compatible

NICE DCV

Yes

Parsec

Yes

VNC

Yes (with limitations)

RDP

Not recommended – GPU access issues

Network#

Requirement

Value

Bandwidth

200 Mbps recommended, 100 Mbps minimum

What You Will Need#

For a typical development session you will use:

  1. Server workstation – running Kit with XR extensions and a CloudXR runtime

  2. Client device – Apple headset/tablet or Meta headset with the appropriate viewer app

  3. WiFi 6 router – connecting the server (wired) and client (wireless)

  4. Optionally, a development machine (can be the same as the server) for building client apps
