In the release notes of the Microsoft Mixed Reality Toolkit 2.7, Microsoft noted additional support for OpenXR including:
Unreal Engine 5 is the next major evolution of Unreal Engine, redesigned and enhanced for the next generation of games, real-time visualizations, and immersive interactive experiences. It will empower game developers and creators across all industries to realize next-generation real-time 3D content and experiences with greater freedom, fidelity, and flexibility than ever before.
Unreal Engine 5 has a new VRTemplate using the OpenXR framework, the multi-company standard for VR development. The template is designed to be a starting point for all VR projects. It includes encapsulated logic for teleport locomotion and common input actions, such as grabbing and attaching items to your hand. The VR platforms currently supported by VRTemplate include:
In this Collabora blog post, Rohan Garg explores the new, low overhead extension in Mesa allowing OpenGL and Vulkan applications to talk to each other, bringing more flexibility to application developers while easing the transition path between the industry-standard Khronos APIs.
In this featured blog by Autodesk’s Jerran Schmidt, we explore the use of scalable cloud resources to process data from large datasets and why Autodesk chose Vulkan as their API.
Simulating the sensor modalities used in automated driving efficiently and accurately is an immense challenge. The best solutions is to rely on GPU-accelerated raytracing techniques and the efficient distribution of tasks. Today, the Vulkan API is the only tool that can support such a system – that’s why we’ve integrated it into aiSim.
Portable Computing Language (POCL) announced the release of version 1.7. Highlights include:
Khronos members are individuals, companies and academic institutes from around the world shaping the standards that are driving the world.
