MRTK3 Preview 14 Release 💔

[Zee2]

pre.14: The "pro bono" update.

In light of recent news and events, we're aware the community has a lot of questions regarding the future of MRTK. We'll be making an announcement as soon as we can, and I want to personally assure everyone that the dream, ideals, and vision of MRTK lives on throughout the XR industry. We wouldn't be where we are today without the beautiful and inspiring collaboration between the open source community, the MRTK team, and the wider XR industry. We'll share more information as soon as we have it.

We are forever in your debt, and we thank you for helping us make the future of spatial computing more open, friendly, usable, and inspiring to all.

Your team has been doing amazing work on MRTK. I hope you or the community find a way to finish MRTK3!

I would absolutely be on board with a Patreon or foundation support option. We need MRTK to be lead with a paid full time development crew. One that loves and lives in between-the-platforms kind of relationship. My little startup Steampunk Digital would support it, but it's not enough. I'm sure we could get some client friends of ours to support this too.
Let's go!! ❤️ 🤠👍
