While there's no specific language for OpenXR, Khronos said the OpenXR specification is "a simple step toward building a multi-platform VR-based experience that's not just easy and easy to work with," but "fits easily into any system (including OpenXR) and will only become more and more common as the hardware advances. We want to create a world where developers can build their own VR experiences with ease that will not only make their games more accessible to everyone, but will also increase the market for VR/AR development in the coming years."

OpenXR's open source project is a step toward bringing more of that open source experience to VR, but it's not complete yet: Khronos said that the OpenXR spec will be released sometime in 2018. The full OpenXR specification can be found at the official source code page for OpenXR.

OpenVR is a joint initiative of OpenVR, the world's largest VR development company and the world's largest developer of VR headsets and VR games. The OpenVR development kit is a free update that includes a range of SDKs and tools for OpenVR developers. Khronos has not yet announced any firm product partners, but he said that he expects to announce more VR partners within the next two years.

OpenVR is a collaboration between Oculus and the OpenVR community. The OpenVR community aims to improve virtual reality experiences, especially for the general public, by enabling open source hardware and tools, and encouraging experimentation and development of hardware. OpenVR is a collaborative effort between the OpenVR Foundation and the Virtual Reality Foundation, an independent organization dedicated to making all open source headsets and accessories available to the public. The OpenVR project is a partnership between OpenVR, the OpenVR Foundation, Oculus, and the OpenVR Foundation. Oculus has invested heavily in the OpenVR community, and OpenVR has built upon its existing infrastructure and business model to create its own hardware. Oculus has developed OpenVR with several partners, including The Oculus Corporation, the Oculus Rift, and the Valve Corporation.

The OpenVR community is a free update to the source code of the OpenVR specification.
