Unity VR Developer Required – Meta Quest Mixed Reality & 360° Interactive Experience

## Project Overview

I am looking for an experienced Unity VR developer to build a standalone Meta Quest application that combines Mixed Reality (Passthrough) and immersive 360° experiences.

The goal is to create an engaging, guided experience where users begin in Mixed Reality, interact with virtual objects in their real-world environment, and then transition into a series of connected 360° photo and video experiences through interactive hotspots.

All 360° media assets, character artwork, branding assets, and content will be provided.

## User Experience Flow

### 1. Mixed Reality Entry Experience

When the user launches the application on a Meta Quest headset, they should begin in Passthrough/Mixed Reality mode and be able to see their real-world surroundings.

The user will then be presented with two character options:

* Male guide character
* Female guide character

Character artwork/images will be supplied.

The user selects their preferred guide character, and that character will act as a virtual host throughout the experience.

The selected guide should:

* Deliver voice prompts
* Explain what to do next
* Introduce locations and activities
* Encourage interaction
* Present questions and prompts during the experience

---

### 2. Transition into Immersive VR

After character selection, the user interacts with a floating object, portal, button, or similar virtual element.

This interaction should transition the user from Mixed Reality into a fully immersive 360° environment.

I would like the transition to feel polished and engaging. Examples include:

* Fade transitions
* Portal effects
* Teleportation effects
* Vortex animations
* Particle effects
* Any creative solution that improves immersion

### 3. Interactive 360° Environment
Inside the 360° environment, users should be able to:

* Freely look around
* View 360° photos and videos
* Interact with floating hotspots/icons
* Navigate between different locations

Each hotspot should:

* Display a custom icon
* Be selectable via Quest interaction
* Trigger a transition to another 360° scene
* Optionally trigger narration, audio, questions, images, or information panels

Initially I expect approximately 3-5 hotspots per location.

### 4. Interactive Learning Elements
The experience should support:
* Text popups * Image popups * Audio narration * Questions and prompts * Guided interactions from the selected character The guide character should be capable of directing users to specific hotspots and encouraging engagement throughout the experience. --- ## Technical Requirements * Unity * Meta Quest compatibility * Passthrough/Mixed Reality functionality * XR Interaction Toolkit * Optimised performance for standalone Quest deployment * 360° video playback * 360° image support * Scene transitions * Hotspot interactions * Character selection system * Voice-guided interactions --- ## Future Content Management (Important) The solution should be designed so that future content can be updated without requiring significant development work. Ideally I would like the ability to: Replace 360° photos/videos Update hotspot destinations Change hotspot labels Update narration/audio Add additional locations without needing major Unity modifications. Please advise on the best implementation approach for this. --- ## Deliverables Complete Unity project Source files Meta Quest APK build Documentation explaining how to update content Instructions for deployment and testing --- ## Please Include When applying, please provide: Examples of previous Unity VR projects Examples of Meta Quest applications Experience with Passthrough/Mixed Reality Experience with 360° video environments Estimated timeline Fixed-price quote Recommended technical approach for future content updates I am looking for a developer who can not only build the initial experience but also recommend the best architecture for scalability and future expansion.
