AUTOSAR™ (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) and The Khronos® Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding and entered into a collaboration liaison to foster synergy between the two organizations to encourage standardization in the field of Automotive and Future Intelligent Mobility. This joint technical collaboration between AUTOSAR and Khronos is intended to coordinate common requirements and developments with a focus on accelerated graphics and computing in safety critical markets.

We’re thrilled that Khronos and European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) continue to strengthen our cooperative liaison to foster the creation of an open, royalty-free standard for controlling camera system runtimes in embedded, mobile, industrial, XR, automotive, and scientific markets. Both the EMVA and Khronos have a well-established history of driving standardization to enable the industry to accelerate the development and deployment of new products by reducing fragmentation. Khronos and EMVA have been collaborating for over a year on this initiative – first with the formation of an Embedded Camera API Exploratory group in February 2021 and now as an official Khronos Camera API Working Group. Weekly meetings for the Camera API Working Group started on March 10 – and any organization is welcome to join Khronos and participate!

The Haptics Industry Forum (HIF) and The Khronos® Group have entered into a cooperative liaison agreement to foster synergy between the two organizations to encourage the integration of advanced haptics functionality into the Khronos OpenXR™ open standard for portable augmented and virtual reality, to enable broad availability of haptics in the metaverse and beyond. This agreement enables HIF and Khronos to collaborate with a shared goal to enable broad, cross-platform access to next-generation haptic feedback in XR applications, enabling rich multisensory experiences to reach beyond 3D visuals for the eyes and spatial audio for the ears – and include expressive haptics for touch.
