Late 2022, Meta announced the Meta Quest Pro. Although having some experience with Oculus and making VR games at school, I hadn’t witnessed VR headsets becoming cordless and not requiring a PC. This made me excited for the future and possibilities for applications on this new computing device. Like when the iPhone came out, there will be new applications that can add value as the hardware improves.

I learned that on top of 3D immersive application (Unity, Unreal), Oculus can also run Progressive Web Application (PWAs). With this in mind, I thought of a simple utility application that someone in the future could use. I decided on doing a guitar tuner since I didn’t find any on the Oculus store.

Here are some resources I used for implementing the auto-correlation:

I wanted this guitar tuner to have the most efficient pitch detection possible. There is still room to improve the application, need to implement Bitstream Autocorrelation.
