Senior AR/VR development talent and rates in Events & Ticketing
Senior AR/VR development engineers serving events & ticketing run roughly $140–$210/hr. Stack realities for this combination: Ticketmaster/Eventbrite + Salesforce Events Cloud + Stripe + queue-it — common integrations: Ticketmaster + AXS + Eventbrite, Salesforce Events Cloud, Cvent + Bizzabo conference platforms. Mobile tickets with Apple Wallet + offline scan-in
What AR/VR development actually requires in 2026
2026 stack: Unity 6 (still dominant), Unreal 5 (graphics-intensive), Apple Vision Pro toolkit (visionOS), Meta Quest SDK + Spark AR for Meta devices. WebXR for browser-based AR. 8th Wall for marker-less web AR. Roblox Studio for spatial-social. Senior XR engineers come from games, simulation, or specialized training-software backgrounds. Pure web/mobile devs without game-engine fluency can't build production XR — Unity/Unreal mental model is fundamentally different from web component trees.
