OpenXR
@openxr.org
OpenXR is a royalty-free, open standard that provides a common set of APIs for developing XR applications that run across a wide range of AR and VR devices. https://www.khronos.org/openxr/
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
