About OpenXR
OpenXR is a royalty-free, open standard developed by Khronos that provides a single cross-platform, high-performance API for XR (AR/VR/MR) development. It allows developers to create an immersive XR application that runs seamlessly across a wide range of AR and VR devices without needing platform-specific code.

Before OpenXR
Before OpenXR, developers had to maintain separate codebases, integrations, and plugins for each hardware platform (Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Pico, Galaxy XR, etc.). Each VR & AR device came with its own SDK, its own way of reading controller input and tracking, and its own way of handling the display.
With Open XR
OpenXR simplifies XR development and reduces fragmentation by providing unified, hardware-agnostic APIs. With a single integration, developers can target multiple VR and AR headsets simultaneously. This dramatically reduces development time, cost, time-to-market, and platform-specific maintenance while ensuring future compatibility with new headsets.
