Using AltspaceVR and MRE to Build a Chuck Norris Quote Generator in the Metaverse Hosted in Azure

Learn how to build a Chuck Norris quote generator in the metaverse using AltspaceVR and Microsoft Mixed Reality Extensions (MRE) SDK. Get started with AltspaceVR, create custom universes and worlds, and develop dynamic objects using TypeScript. Explore a new boilerplate for quick MRE setup, enabling hot reloading with ESBuild. Discover how to integrate APIs, deploy to Azure Container Instances, and configure AltspaceVR to use your Azure-hosted MRE. Follow along as the instructor demonstrates creating, testing, and deploying a metaverse application, including tips for building on Apple Silicon M1 and using GitHub Copilot.
