OpenXR

Fully supported in Godot 4.8, we’re working on samples, watch this space!

OpenXR spatial containers are here: an open, cross-platform API for spatial windowing in XR. Apps can switch between a bounded multitasking mode and a full immersive mode, with the system managing placement. www.khronos.org/blog/openxr-... #OpenXR #XR

OpenXR now has tiered Adopter fees by company size — lowering the cost of conformance for smaller XR makers, same technical bar. www.khronos.org/blog/openxr-... SIGGRAPH LA: OpenXR session today 2-3:30pm PDT www.khronos.org/events/siggr... #OpenXR #SIGGRAPH2026 #XR #AR #VR #spatial

Proud to have had a hand in making this happen. Adding visibility to what is supported in middleware helps move the standard forward and give much needed clarity to developers.

Frederic Plourde from @collabora.com doing "Leveling up @openxr.org" talk at @fosdem.org

The Khronos OpenXR Extension Matrix now includes middleware support data from Godot, LÖVR, StereoKit, Unity, and Unreal Engine — so developers can see exactly what's available across the full XR stack. khronos.org/blog/khronos-adds-middleware-insights-to-the-openxr-extension-matrix #OpenXR #XR

Last month, the Khronos Group participated in SIGGRAPH Asia. The slides and recordings from those sessions are now available on our webpage: www.khronos.org/events/siggr... #glTF #OpenXR #spatial #machinelearning #AI

Deadline for both OpenXR RFPs is November 30th. Less than a week away. See below for details.

We are pleased to announce the release of the Best Practices Validation Layer. It addresses a critical need in XR development: catching suboptimal API usage patterns that can lead to inconsistent behavior across different OpenXR runtimes. Learn more: www.khronos.org/blog/new-ope... #OpenXR #XR

There are currently two Request for Proposals open for OpenXR on our website at: www.khronos.org/rfp. One is for specification support and the other is for CTS maintenance. Closing date for both is November 30th #openxr #RFP #CTS #Specification
