hz-xr-simulator-install-and-configure

hz-xr-simulator-install-and-configure is a skill for Claude Code from meta-quest/agentic-tools. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,710 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An installation and setup guide for Meta XR Simulator, desktop software that imitates a Meta VR environment without a physical headset. It covers connecting the simulator to Unity, Unreal, or native OpenXR projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the simulator, configure a project, and test interactions, interface elements, or movement before using real hardware.
Why use it?
It lets developers run functional VR tests on a computer and in automated build pipelines instead of deploying to a headset for every check.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hz-xr-simulator-install-and-configure scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Meta XR Simulator Installation and Configuration

When to Use This Skill

  • You need to test a Meta VR application without a physical headset connected
  • You want rapid iteration during development without deploying to device each time
  • You are setting up CI/CD pipelines that need automated testing of Meta VR apps
  • You want to validate core interactions, UI, and locomotion before deploying to hardware

What is Meta XR Simulator

Meta XR Simulator is a desktop tool that simulates a Meta VR environment on your development machine. It intercepts the OpenXR runtime calls your application makes and provides simulated headset tracking, controller input, hand tracking, and environment data, allowing you to run and test VR/MR applications directly in your engine's editor or as standalone desktop builds.

The simulator does not replicate Meta VR hardware performance. It runs on your desktop GPU and CPU. Its purpose is functional testing, not performance profiling.

Supported Platforms

Platform Support Level
Windows 10/11 (64-bit) Full support
macOS Limited support

Supported App Types

  • Unity via Meta XR SDK (com.meta.xr.sdk.core and related packages)
  • Unreal Engine via Meta XR Plugin (formerly Oculus VR Plugin)
  • Native OpenXR applications using Meta XR Simulator as the active OpenXR runtime

Key Features

  • Simulated headset tracking: Control head position and rotation with mouse and keyboard. Move through your virtual scene without wearing a headset.
  • Simulated controller input: Map keyboard keys to Quest Touch controller buttons, thumbsticks, and triggers. Test interactions as if holding physical controllers.
  • Simulated hand tracking: Trigger predefined hand poses and gesture sequences. Test pinch, grab, poke, and custom gestures without real hand tracking.
  • Room setup and guardian simulation: Define a virtual play space with configurable room dimensions, furniture placement, and guardian boundaries. Test boundary-aware behavior.
  • Passthrough simulation: Provide synthetic passthrough camera feeds for mixed reality application testing. Validate scene understanding and plane detection logic.
  • Scriptable testing scenarios: Automate input sequences, record and replay sessions, and integrate with CI/CD for regression testing.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
