Jules Blok, better known as CrossVR, the developer behind the popular ReVive utility, revealed that he’s now part of the team that is shaping Khronos’s proposed OpenXR standard. Blok’s experience with compatibility issues between VR platforms could prove invaluable to the OpenXR working group.
Last December, the Khronos Group announced the Open VR Standards Initiative, which aims to solve the compatibility problems between the various VR platforms and simplify the process of deploying applications for multiple VR HMDs. Before Khronos revealed the Open VR Standards Initiative (now know as OpenXR), it managed to gain the support from many of the key players working in virtual reality and immersive technology including Oculus, Valve, Google, AMD, Nvidia, and many other top VR companies.
