OpenXR for Ruby

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

• Ruby 2.7+ with FFI

• OpenXR SDK 1.0.8+

$ gem install openxr

require 'openxr'

OpenXR::Extension.each do |extension|
  puts [extension.name, extension.version].join("\t")
end

OpenXR::Instance.create($0) do |instance|
  ...
end

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.py: OpenXR bindings for Python.

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

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