Initially users will be able to step into their 3D scenes to see them up close and at scale, with new features expected in the future. The next version of Blender , version 2.83 planned for release in late-may, will include a first wave of VR support, the company recently announced . VR support is being added via the OpenXR API, which will allow the software to interface with any headset supporting OpenXR (which has wide support in the VR industry, though is still in the early process rolling out to individual headsets).

GTC 2020: Khronos Cross-Platform Standards Update: Vulkan, SPIR-V, OpenXR, glTF and OpenCL April 9, 2020 khronos ecosystem NVIDIA Corporation Discover how over 150 companies cooperate at the Khronos Group to create open, royalty-free standards that enable developers to access the power of the GPU to accelerate demanding compute, graphics, and AR/VR applications. This session includes the very latest updates on several Khronos cross-platform standards, including the new Analytic Rendering group for scientific visualization, OpenXR for portable AR and VR, the new-generation Vulkan GPU API, the SPIR-V standard intermediate language for parallel compute and graphics, glTF for efficient transmission of 3D assets, and OpenCL for parallel heterogeneous programming. The session also provides insights into how these open standards are supported across NVIDIA’s product families. This video and presentation and many more are available on the NVIDIA GTC website.

The Latest Vulkan Educational Resources April 8, 2020 vulkan , education We often hear that developers would like a single location to find all the available resources for learning Vulkan and we wanted to create a list of the most up to date and valuable set of resources. Now, with many events cancelled or delayed in 2020, we will be exploring ways to take that educational content online to make sure developers don’t miss out on the valuable insight these event session’s provide. We will be expanding this list moving forward which you can find here . Read More... Oculus releases OpenXR Mobile SDK April 7, 2020 openxr Facebook, Inc. ​Oculus has released their OpenXR Mobile SDK v1.0.6. This is a prototype version of OpenXR support that is presented as a developer preview. The OpenXR Mobile SDK includes the resources necessary to use the OpenXR API for native development of VR apps for Oculus Quest. OpenXR offers an alternate development path that allows developers to create portable code that can be used on devices from multiple vendors.
