## Build or spatialize an Android app

You can build a new app from scratch or adapt an Android large screen or mobile app for XR by adding spatial components.  
[Develop with Jetpack XR SDK](http://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk)  
Alas, your browser doesn't support HTML5 video. That's OK! You can still[download the video](https://developer.android.com/static/videos/design/ui/xr/develop-xr-adapted-opt.mp4)and watch it with a video player.  
This JetNews app is an Android large-screen app adapted for Android XR.

## Easy on-ramp to bring apps to XR

![](http://developer.android.com/static/images/develop/xr/xr-compatible-mobile.png)  

### XR-compatible mobile app

Reach users on XR devices with your existing[compatible](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/get-started#app-manifest)mobile apps. No changes required.  
![](http://developer.android.com/static/images/develop/xr/xr-compatible-large.png)  

### XR-compatible large screen app

Adaptive layouts ensure your app works across devices. Existing[large screen apps](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/large-screens/tier-2-overview)are optimized for XR. No changes required.  
![](http://developer.android.com/static/images/develop/xr/xr-compatible-diff.png)  

### XR-differentiated app

Take advantage of[spatial panels](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/develop-ui#create-spatial),[3D models](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/add-3d-models), and[spatial environments](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/add-environments)to design an immersive experience. Or use Unity, OpenXR, or WebXR to build a fully customized immersive experience.![](http://developer.android.com/static/images/picto-icons/tools-2.svg)  

## Explore Android development tools

Create XR experiences using familiar tools, extended for XR.  

### Android Studio

Create a new device flow, device manager, and[layout inspector](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/studio-tools#layout-inspector). Use the[Android XR emulator](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/studio-tools#emulator)to test apps directly on your machine, with or without access to a physical device.  

### [Jetpack Compose for XR](http://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/develop-ui)

Includes everything you need to design an XR app. Find UI and interaction recommendations, an automatic layout engine, preset layouts, and spatial UI compositions.  

### [ARCore for Jetpack XR](http://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/arcore)

Brings perception capabilities for your app to understand and interact with real-world features such as anchors and semantic segmentation.  

### [Jetpack SceneCore](http://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/work-with-entities)

Includes the building blocks to add immersive content to your Android XR app. The SceneCore library supports spatial entity and environment APIs.  

### [Material Design for XR](http://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/material-design)

### 3D tools

Use the 3D tool of your choice to create glTF or GLB files. Examples:[Blender](https://www.blender.org/),[Maya](https://www.autodesk.com/products/maya),[Spline](https://spline.design/)  

### Explore the Hello Android XR sample app

Try out the[Hello Android XR sample app](https://github.com/android/xr-samples), optimized for an immersive experience. See firsthand how spatial panels and environments come together in a real-world application.  

### Work through Android XR codelabs

Follow step-by-step guides to learn the building blocks of Android XR experiences and adapt an existing app to make use of them.  
[Take the first codelab](http://developer.android.com/codelabs/xr-fundamentals-part-1)

## Build with Unity, OpenXR, or WebXR

Anyone familiar with 3D development can build with the popular[Unity](https://unity.com/)realtime 3D engine, the industry standard[OpenXR](https://openxr.org/), or the readily-accessible[WebXR](https://immersiveweb.dev/). These frameworks give you the flexibility to build the XR experiences you want.  

### [Unity](http://developer.android.com/develop/xr/unity)

Build apps that can target multiple platforms with Unity's established OpenXR support and developer ecosystem.
