Accelerating AR/VR:  Kronos releases OpenXR

With growing adoption from XR industry and expanding ecosystem support, Khronos has released an advanced acceleration standard, OpenXR 1.0. It comes with publicly available implementations and substantial ecosystem momentum. OpenXR is a unifying, royalty-free, open standard that provides high-performance, cross-platform access to VR and AR—collectively known as XR—platforms and devices. The new specification can be found on the Khronos website and via GitHub. “The working group is excited to launch the 1.0 version of the OpenXR specification, and the feedback from the community on the provisional specification released in March has been invaluable to getting us to this significant milestone,”
