Magic Leap 2 now supports the OpenXR standard, providing compatibility with a wide range of XR apps.
OpenXR was released in 2019 by the Khronos Group and has gained contributions from numerous tech companies.
The support for OpenXR expands the app options for Magic Leap 2 owners.
- Developers and enterprise users who prefer open standards can write universal code that will run on various AR and VR headsets, including those from Magic Leap, Meta Quest, Pico, HTC Vive, Varjo, and more.
- Compatibility is expected with headsets that use SteamVR, Windows Mixed Reality, and Snapdragon Spaces.
The announcement may indicate Magic Leap's efforts to establish itself ahead of the rumored launch of the Apple Reality Pro headset.
