OpenXR Samples for Mixed Reality Developers

This repository contains OpenXR code samples tailored for developers who are familiar with and using the Visual Studio toolchain, e.g. HoloLens 2 developers.

These OpenXR samples use C++17 and D3D11. The same source code works across UWP applications running on HoloLens 2 and Win32 applications running on Windows Desktop with Windows Mixed Reality immersive headsets.

Prepare, build and run the samples

OpenXR preview extensions

The openxr_preview folder contains an additional openxr_msft_preview.h header to offer the following OpenXR extensions that are only available in preview runtime.

  1. XR_EXT_user_presence
  2. XR_MSFT_scene_marker

Please send feedback on preview extensions and samples at GitHub issues. We are planning to incorporate your feedback and finalize these extensions as vendor extensions (MSFT) or cross-vendor extensions (EXT) in the central Khronos OpenXR headers and spec over the coming months.
