2 years ago  ( 2024-04-15 ) [ 1 ] Operating system Cross-platform Platform Cross-platform Type Virtual reality and augmented reality API License Apache License 2.0 [ 2 ] Website www .khronos .org /openxr / Repository registry .khronos .org /OpenXR / #apispecs OpenXR is an open-source , royalty-free standard for interfacing with virtual reality and augmented reality devices. [ 3 ] It is developed by a working group managed by the Khronos Group consortium. OpenXR was announced by the Khronos Group on February 27, 2017, during GDC 2017 . [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] A provisional version of the standard was released on March 18, 2019, to enable developers and implementers to provide feedback on it. [ 3 ] On July 29, 2019, OpenXR 1.0 was released to the public by Khronos Group at SIGGRAPH 2019 [ 7 ] and on April 15, 2024, OpenXR 1.1 was released by Khronos. [ 8 ] Reviewers of the 0.90 provisional release considered that the aim of OpenXR was to "Solve AR/VR Fragmentation". [ 9 ] Architecture [ edit ] The standard provides an API aimed for application developers targeting virtual reality and augmented reality devices. This enables developers to build applications that will work across a wide variety of devices. [ 10 ] The fundamental elements of this API are: XrSpace : a representation of the 3D space XrInstance : a representation of the OpenXR runtime System and XrSystemId : a representation of the devices, including the virtual reality or augmented reality devices and controllers XrActions : used to handle user inputs XrSession : represents the interaction session between the application and the user The full specification can be found via the OpenXR Registry on GitHub . Implementations [ edit ] The Khronos Group maintains the list of OpenXR-conformant platforms and products. [ 11 ] Currently conformant OpenXR platforms are: Acer's Spatial Display Series [ 12 ] Bytedance's Neo3 and PICO4 [ 13 ] Canon's MREAL platform display and headsets [ 14 ] Collabora Monado Runtime for GNU/Linux, with the release of version 21.0.0 in February 2021 [ 15 ] HTC VIVE Cosmos and VIVE Focus 3, part of HTC's VIVERSE ecosystem [ 16 ] Magic Leap 2 [ 17 ] Meta's PC platform and its Quest line of devices, with full support OpenXR 1.0 added in July 2021 [ 18 ] [ 19 ] Microsoft HoloLens 2 and the Windows Mixed Reality headsets [ 20 ] Qualcomm Snapdragon Spaces XR Developer Platform [ 21 ] Sony's Spatial Reality Displays (ELF-SR1 & ELF-SR2) [ 22 ] Valve SteamVR , since version 1.16 in February 2021 [ 23 ] Varjo headsets Game and rendering engine support [ edit ] Support for OpenXR application development can be found in the following engines: Unreal Engine , with initial support in the 4.24 [ 24 ] Blender , with initial support in the 2.83 LTS release from June 2020 [ 25 ] Unity , with initial support in the 2020.2 release from December 2020 [ 26 ] Godot , with initial support in the 4.0 [ 27 ] Autodesk VRED [ 28 ] StereoKit , developed around OpenXR [ 29 ] Nvidia Omniverse [ 30 ] Unigine since version 2.19 from August 2024. [ 31 ] S&box [ 32 ] Browser support [ edit ] Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge web browsers both enable WebXR support using OpenXR by default using the Chromium code base [ 33 ] Roadmap [ edit ] After the release of OpenXR 1.0, progress will likely be driven through the development of extensions to the core API. [ 34 ] This can be seen in the subsequent release of extensions for support of hand tracking and eye gaze tracking. [ 35 ] As implementers and developers get more experience with the extensions, they could get integrated into the core OpenXR API in future releases.
