IKhronos Group yiqembu elilawula amanye ama-API emithombo ebaluleke kakhulu, njengoba kufanele wazi. Phakathi kwazo kukhona i-OpenCL, i-OpenGL, iVulkan, njll. Kepha izindaba ezisithandayo manje zimayelana nenye i-API yakamuva kakhulu, ngikhuluma nge-OpenXR. Yebo, manje sebethule ifayela le- inguqulo entsha OpenXR 1.0 yale ncazelo yokuhlanganisa umhlaba weqiniso langempela kanye nokungokoqobo okungeziwe.
Okwalabo namanje abangayazi i-OpenXR, yithi iyengeza ngaphezu kwe-API nje konjiniyela bezinhlelo zokusebenza zalolu hlobo, ngoba futhi kusetshenzisiwe ukunikezela ungqimba lwabashayeli behadiwe leqiniso langempela kanye neqiniso elingathandwa kwabathelisi esikubona, bethula isikhombimsebenzisi sokukhishwa nedivayisi uqobo lwayo. Futhi ngalokhu, inabahlanganyeli abanjengo-AMD, ARM, Collabora, Google, Epic Games, HP, HTC, Huawei, Imagination Technology, Intel, LG, Logitech, MediaTek, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, NVIDIA, Oculus, Qualcomm, Razer , Samsung, Sony, VIA, njll.
I-OpenXR inikeza amathuba ahlukahlukene wokusebenzisana ne-VR ne-AR. Ziya ngokuya zivama kakhulu futhi zisetshenziselwa izinhloso ezahlukahlukene, zombili izilinganiso, imidlalo yevidiyo nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza. Kungakho kubalulekile ukuthi ube nomthombo ovulekile nomkhakha we-API ovamile wokubhekana neqiniso elingokoqobo kanye neqiniso elengeziwe. Manje sekunezengezo ezijabulisayo nokusekelwa kwe-OpenXR 1.0 okungezwe iValve, AMD, NVIDIA, Epic Games, ARM, Oculus, HTC, Microsoft, nokuningi.
Yilokho kubalulekile futhi emidlalweni yeLinuxnjengoba kuzomthinta ngokungaqondile. Imidlalo yama-Epic isivele isho ukuthi bacubungula ukwesekwa kwe-OpenXR 1.0 ku-Unreal Engine, ngokufana neValve neSteamVR kubonakala sengathi bayakwenza. Futhi, manje, njengoba sesike saxoxa, uCollabora usebenza eMonado, umthombo ovulekile XR isikhathi sokusebenza seLinux.
