Latest Update

 

7/23/21: Oculus opens full support for OpenXR, deprecating proprietary APIs! 

 

Full Support for OpenXR means that we:

 

  • Help developers build new applications with OpenXR via our Developer Site
  • Perform QA testing of OpenXR to ensure features are working
  • Address bugs when reported
  • Provide developers API access to new capabilities via OpenXR

A year from now (August 31, 2022), Compatibility Support for Oculus Native Mobile and PC APIs will end and they will be Unsupported. Existing applications will continue to function on Oculus devices, but our level of support will change.

 

Read the full details in the following blog: https://developer.oculus.com/blog/oculus-all-in-on-openxr-deprecates-proprietary-apis/

 

Past Updates

 

7/23/20: As of v19, we are officially supporting OpenXR 1.0 implementation. Developers can now submit their OpenXR apps to the Oculus Store. For mobile, please use the OpenXR loader that shipped with v19 or higher. You can find the latest PC SDK version here and the latest version of the OpenXR SDK here.

 

Known Issues (will be fixed in future release):

 

    • Grip pose is misaligned.
    • Action spaces continue to track even when isActive ==
      false, which is conformant but misaligned with other runtimes. This will
      cause issues if relying on on tracking state  vs. isActive for
      rendering hands.
    • Parent interaction profile bindings are missing for
      non-natively supported profiles (everything besides the Simple, Touch, and
      XBox controller profiles).


If you have any questions regarding this release, please post them as a reply to this thread!

    Starting from the the latest Oculus integration package (for Unity) v35, it says openXR is fully supported! However, I'm not able to get the hand tracking to work AT ALL in the editor. Is this a known issue?

      Or is the Meta OpenXR implementation missing all these features that are present on both Apple and Android platforms?...

      Object trackingDetect and track 3D objects.

      When are these going to be available, as this is the kind of stuff that takes an AR app to the next level.  Thanks.

        Where can we go to report any bugs we find in this? I have noticed that these forums are checked only by other developers, and the team behind the OpenXR implementation does not seem to check (or answer) them...
