OpenXR 1.1 consolidates widely used API extensions into the core specification to reduce fragmentation and adds new functionality to streamline the development of more powerful and efficient XR applications. In particular, OpenXR 1.1 consolidates multiple vendor extensions for key functionality to reduce differences in application code across multiple platforms, while still remaining flexible and extensible to foster innovation in a rapidly growing and evolving market. The OpenXR Working Group will focus on managing a pipeline of extensions to develop and seek feedback on new functionality, while proactively integrating proven technology into the core specification to provide developers with robust cross-platform XR capabilities. Today, most major XR platforms have transitioned to using OpenXR to expose current and future device capabilities. Vendors with conformant OpenXR implementations include Acer, ByteDance, Canon, HTC, Magic Leap, Meta, Microsoft, Sony, XREAL, Qualcomm, Valve, Varjo, and Collabora’s Monado open source runtime. OpenXR is also supported by all the major game and rendering engines, including Autodesk VRED, Blender, Godot, NVIDIA’s Omniverse, StereoKit, Unreal Engine, and Unity. </div> <footer class="articleMetadata"> <p><strong><a href="/news/press/khronos-releases-openxr-1.1-to-further-streamline-cross-platform-xr-development" itemprop="url">Read press release...</a></strong></p> </footer> </article> <nav aria-label="Page navigation" class="text-center"> </nav> <article itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article"> <h3 itemprop="headline">Khronos Drives Industry Support for Expanded 3D Features with Vulkan Roadmap 2024</h3> <div class="articleMetadata"> <time itemprop="dateCreated" datetime="2024-01-25T06:00:00-08:00"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> January 25, 2024</time> <span class="articleTags" itemtype="keywords"><i class="fa fa-tags"></i> </span> </div> <div itemprop="articleBody"> The Khronos Group announced the latest roadmap milestone for Vulkan®, the cross-platform 3D graphics and compute API.

Over the past year, the safety-critical community has gathered in the Khronos SYCL Safety-Critical Exploratory Forum to build consensus on use cases and industry requirements to catalyze and guide the design of this new open standard. The SYCL SC Working Group is open to any Khronos member, and Khronos membership is open to any company. </div> <footer class="articleMetadata"> <p><strong><a href="/news/press/khronos-to-create-sycl-sc-open-standard-for-safety-critical-c-based-heterogeneous-compute" itemprop="url">Read press release...</a></strong></p> </footer> </article> <nav aria-label="Page navigation" class="text-center"> </nav> <article itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article"> <h3 itemprop="headline">Vulkan SDK is Vulkan Video Ready</h3> <div class="articleMetadata"> <time itemprop="dateCreated" datetime="2023-01-30T09:00:00-08:00"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> January 30, 2023</time> <span class="articleTags" itemtype="keywords"><i class="fa fa-tags"></i> </span> </div> <div itemprop="articleBody"> The Khronos Group announces that LunarG has released the Vulkan Software Development Kit (SDK) version 1.3.239.0 for Windows and Linux with full support for the four Vulkan Video extensions finalized in December 2022, including header upgrades and Validation Layer integration.
