General information
Key points
- Virtual reality (VR in short) means simulated enviroment experienced by user, with PC gaming, this means usage of virtual reality headset with games. This replaces monitor as window for the game and places the player inside the game instead.
General
Current standards that are being utilized by the games are following:
- SteamVR (also known as OpenVR, which is not to be confused with OSVR)
- Oculus SDK
- Open Source VR (OSVR)
- Windows Mixed Reality (WMR)
- OpenXR
Currently compatibility is up to what standard the game is utilizing and what headsets the standard supports. With compatibility layers, it is possible to make game use another standard or headset to work with another standard, but compatibility is not always quaranteed.
OpenXR is standardization effort to fix this fragmentation. Stable version was released in July 29, 2019, meaning adaptation will take for a while
