Khronos releases the OpenXR 1.0 specification aimed at unifying VR and AR

I gave up waiting for my Samsung Odyssey to work automagically with OpenXR on Ubuntu and sold it.
The main reason is, it got to hot to play longer than 20 minutes or so. Also low resolution. But I'll be back
mostly for flightsim probably with next generation headsets that have above fixed.
The immersion in Alien Isolation was huge fun.

The latest Tomb Raider with support for VR. Any VR game will be interesting. Hope for my Samsung Odyssey with OpenXR soon also on Linux.

I've got a Samsung Odyssey while waiting for OpenXR but am looking forward to update it to the next Generation VR.
Alien Isolation is huge fun in VR but also X-Plane.
