Both OpenXR RFPs close on November 30th. Less than a week away. See below for details:
There are currently two Request for Proposals open for OpenXR on our website at: 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
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.

Demo of @UnrealEngine 5.6 with @OpenXR, I have implemented `XR_EXT_hand_interaction` to grab Aim, Pinch, Poke and Grip/Grasp poses without requiring any vendor-specific plugins or modules.
All encapsulated within an single Plugin, purely using OpenXR.
This is paired with a Physics Asset with associated colliders and constraints, controlled by a Physics Control Asset to enable physics interaction with realistic blocking/environment interaction.
No grab mechanics in here, purely relying on friction and collision.
Currently running on Quest 3 via Link, but also working over Steam Link directly with hand tracking data passed through. Should support any runtime that provides the hand interaction extensions.
At SIGGRAPH last month, OpenXR Working Group Vice Chair, Denny Rönngren gave an overview of OpenXR with all the latest updates from the group on the advancement of the specification.

Wrote a small piece on the new @thekhronosgroup OpenXR generic controller profile I'm excited for and an old story how I once wrote sexist motion controls.

Somnium VR1 is not made just for games. It saves real lives ❤️
Many people do not know nor realize that our @SomniumSpace #VR1 headset is not only used for games but also for serious training purposes thanks to its high quality Mixed Reality and incredibly capable native OpenXR & SteamVR software suite allowing to create complex training scenarios.
In this video you can see a first responders training simulation after a car crash.
VR1 is using its real-time masking functionality + ability to quickly switch between MR and VR view with programmatic physical buttons. Additionally our advanced eye-tracking is measuring a heat-map for realtime and post event analysis of the operator attention.

🌐 @OpenXR & AndroidXR are reshaping the future of spatial computing
Big moves in the XR world as the Khronos Group rolls out new Spatial Entities Extensions for OpenXR - right as @Google’s AndroidXR begins to gain serious traction.
🟣 Developers now get cross-platform support for spatial anchors, persistent virtual content, and precise tracking
🟣 @PICOXR and ByteDance are among the first to roll out runtime support
🟣 Google’s Moohan headset - its first AndroidXR device - is coming later this year
Meanwhile, Shahram Izadi of AndroidXR says the goal is clear: “From headsets to glasses and everything in between… there’s not a one size fits all for XR.”
The XR race is on - and interoperability just got a serious boost.
