OpenXR.py implements Python bindings for OpenXR 1.0, the open standard and cross-platform API for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) hardware.

$ pip3 install openxr

• Python 3.6+ with ctypes

• OpenXR SDK 1.0.8+

import openxr

We recommend Debian 11 (aka Bullseye) as a development environment. If you're on a Mac, you can run Debian in a virtual machine using VMware Fusion or VirtualBox.

Install the Debian packages for the OpenXR SDK's loader as follows:

$ apt install libopenxr-loader1

That's the only required package, but find related packages of interest using:

$ apt search openxr

In addition, you will need an OpenXR runtime for your hardware. In the absence of suitable vendor-supplied runtimes, have a look at the open-source Monado project which supports many common devices.

• OpenXR.dart: OpenXR bindings for Dart & Flutter.

• Unofficial OpenXR Tests: An unofficial OpenXR conformance test suite.
