DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Moses Turner (Collabora)\nAs AR and VR have matured\
 , optical hand tracking has emerged as the default human-computer interact
 ion method - it's simple\, intuitive\, and requires no extra hardware. How
 ever\, it is complicated to implement and had required proprietary hardwar
 e and software. As a part of Monado\, the open-source OpenXR runtime\, Col
 labora has developed a fully open-source optical hand tracking pipeline th
 at's suitable for AR/VR interaction. In this talk\, Moses Turner will demo
 nstrate use of this pipeline\, go over the history of its creation and exp
 lain its relevance to the rest of the XR ecosystem.\n\nhttps://indico.free

 e to use XR for significant periods of time\, to replace our phones or com
 puters\, or just to allow us to do our work in a more ergonomic and intuit
 ive fashion wherever we are. A massive roadblock is that we have not had a
  display server that is built around the constraints and freedoms XR bring
 s\, while providing better interaction with all the software you already r
 un in 2D. 2D display servers are not perfect either\, XR offers opportunit
 ies to fix some of the issues they contain. This talk will introduce Stard
 ust XR\, a display server that is being developed to make interactions wit
 h your computer through XR useful\, account for more accessibility needs t
 han existing desktops and display servers\, and let you customize in a muc
 h more intuitive manner. It supports 2D apps through Wayland\, and will su
 pport better interaction of 3D applications through OpenXR.\n\nhttps://ind

  By contrast mobile HMDs such as the Meta Quest use nonlibre SOCs such as 
 the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2. A VR headset and its controllers also need tr
 acking\, in the case of the Valve Index this is implemented using a microc
 ontroller and an ICE40 FGPA. So first I am going experiment with a libsurv

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Daniel Willmott (GSoC Intern at Collabora)\nOpenglov
 es was previously a Windows only\, OpenVR driver for DIY VR gloves. During
  my GSoC internship working on Monado\, I ported the driver to Linux\, mak
 ing it compatible with OpenXR. Combined with hand tracking\, the gloves al
 so support force feedback\, presenting unique challenges with implementing
  interfaces to handle new technologies.\n\nOpengloves only handles control
 lers\; presenting interesting challenges that have perhaps not been seen b
 y other vendors that ship HMDs. While\, these vendors can write runtimes f
 or their devices to be compatible with OpenXR\, developing an OpenXR runti
 me just for Opengloves isn't practical for a DIY project for only controll
 ers.\n\nThis talk covers the new ground the project has covered in VR deve
 lopments and the lessons that we've learned with developing drivers across
  specifications for VR gloves.\n\nhttps://indico.freedesktop.org/event/3/c

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bryan Brown (Project North Star Foundation)\nWhile O
 pen Source software is generally straightforward to setup without capital\
 , it's much more difficult to do so for hardware. There are a number of li
 mitations that make large scale open source XR hardware challenging\, like
  Minimum Order Quantities\, NDA agreements for chip and component definiti
 ons\, and the upfront cost of manufacturing\, testing and shipping the fin
 ished products.\n\nLed by Noah Zerkin & Bryan Chris Brown\, the Project No
 rthStar Foundation was started to help address these issues and provide an
  organization that is able to design\, source\, manufacture and distribute
  open source hardware.\n\nThis talk will take attendees through the journe
 y of how we arrived at the foundation and what our future goals with the p
 roject are.\n\nhttps://indico.freedesktop.org/event/3/contributions/121/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Niko Ryan (dofdev)\nCurrent XR interactions are usua
 lly only accessible in specific positions\, making them difficult to be us
 ed while relaxed and often inaccessible to people with disabilities. This 
 is the case despite 3D tracking technology allowing the creation of new co
 mfortable ways to interface with a system. In this talk\, I will explain h
 ow we can use tracked body parts to create accessible user interfaces util
 izing components or "shapes" we have identified and made freely available 
 on our website. The purpose of this is to save designers time when approac
 hing some basics of 3D interaction and furthermore to help facilitate user
  interfaces that can be fitted for any available tracked body parts allowi
 ng them to be used in any position and for many physical disabilities.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sarita Adve (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champa
 ign)\nWe will present an XR testbed called ILLIXR (Illinois Extended Reali
 ty testbed)\, an open-source end-to-end XR system. ILLIXR supports XR perc
 eption\, visual\, and audio subsystems\, consisting of state-of-the-art se
 nsors and components (e.g.\, visual inertial odometry\, scene reconstructi
 on\, asynchronous reprojection\, and 3D spatial audio encoding and decodin
 g)\, all orchestrated through a flexible and efficient runtime system. Ena
 bled by Monado\, ILLIXR runs XR applications conforming to the OpenXR inte
 rface. It runs on Linux PCs and embedded systems (e.g.\, NVIDIA Jetson)\, 
 provides the option to offload some components to the cloud (e.g.\, AWS)\,
  and displays images on multiple commercial headsets. It provides extensiv
 e telemetry\, enabling extensive power\, performance\, and quality of serv
 ice measurements and insights on a fully functional XR system.\n\nILLIXR h
 as led to a consortium with industrial and academic partners with the goal
  of democratizing XR research\, development\, and benchmarking. The consor
 tium aims to establish a reference open-source testbed\, a standard benchm
 arking methodology\, and a cross-disciplinary R&D community for XR systems
 . ILLIXR is already being used in a variety of research projects to enable
  advances in XR hardware\, software\, systems\, and algorithms\, with the 
 goal of improving end-to-end user quality of experience. This research inc
 ludes designing new hardware accelerators that are codesigned with innovat
 ions in software algorithms for XR\; codesigning 2.5D and 3D packaging tec
 hnologies (for sensors\, compute\, and memory) with architectures and algo
 rithms\; techniques for offloading XR components from power constrained we
 arables to edge and cloud servers\; compilation technologies\; scheduling 
 and runtime system design\; quality metrics\; and more.\n\nhttps://indico.

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mateo de Mayo (Collabora)\nTracking the pose of an X
 R device in space is a core feature of any XR stack. Visual-inertial metho
 ds have become very popular in the hardware of recent years. These methods
  are applied on devices with one or more cameras and an IMU\, they have re
 volutionized VR and AR by making it possible to abandon the usage of exter
 nal sensors for tracking completely. Unfortunately\, the systems used in p
 roduction for the main hardware and software platforms are closed source. 
 In this talk\, we will present the work made on top of Monado\, the open-s
 ource OpenXR runtime\, to build a solid foundation for visual-inertial tra
 cking for XR. The talk will cover the integration effort of different open
 -source SLAM/VIO systems from academia\, like Basalt\, into Monado and the
  devices that can now use it. We will cover the fundamental theoretical an
 d practical problems these kinds of systems face\, with a focus on the spe
 cific issues the XR domain brings to the table. A broad overview of the op
 en tools\, metrics\, and datasets developed alongside this effort will be 
 presented as well as our future plans to keep improving and expanding on t
 his.\n\nhttps://indico.freedesktop.org/event/3/contributions/125/

  work on already-released phones. There are several parts that make this w
 ork\, and they are all open source and maintained in a community fashion. 
 In this talk\, I will present the basic parts of the OpenXR on Android eco
 system\, as well as some of the considerations that went into their design
 . Finally we'll discuss how you can get started working with it and the re
 levant open source projects\, whether you are interested in the applicatio
 n side\, the runtime side\, or the parts in between making it possible.\n\

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: William Sherman (NIST)\nScientific visualization has
  long benefited from the use of immersive technologies (XR)\, going back t
 o when XR hardware was expensive\, and usually found only in research labs
 . The eruption of lower-cost\, consumer XR technology benefits not only th
 e gaming community\, but has also increased the potential benefits to scie
 nce and other "serious" pursuits.\n\nParaView\, a popular open-source scie
 ntific visualization tool\, has two "plugins" that have been developed to 
 allow a researchers to immersively interact with 3D data using either a co
 nsumer headset (HMD)\, or in a CAVE-style VR system.\n\nThe headset plugin
  now includes both an OpenXR as well as an OpenVR interface\, allowing any
  modern PC-connected headset to instantly shift from a desktop to an immer
 sive viewpoint. The CAVE plugin likewise generates outputs suitable for wa
 lk-in VR experiences\, and interfaces with both high-end\, and consumer VR
  position tracking systems. Together\, these plugins enable ParaView to be
  quickly interfaced to almost any XR system\, large or small.\n\nUnderneat
 h the hood of ParaView is the VTK API (Visualization Toolkit)\, which\, al
 so open-source\, can be directly interfaced to both OpenXR and OpenVR\, us
 ing only a handful of Python (or C++) programming statements to again shif
 t from desktop to XR.\n\nThe U.S. National Institute of Standards and Tech
 nology (NIST) has been collaborating with Kitware Inc. (maintainers of Par
 aView and VTK) to further expand the immersive functionality of these tool
 s\, including the work to interface with the OpenXR Khronos standard. The 
 NIST High Performance Computing and Visualization Group routinely uses bot
 h consumer headset as well as CAVE-style VR facilities to provide research
 ers the ability to naturally interact with their simulation data through i
 mmersive technologies.\n\nThe NIST team will present the current state of 
 the ParaView and VTK interfaces to immersive technologies\, and discuss ou
 r future plans as we continue our collaboration with Kitware Inc. We also 
 plan to bring both HMD and CAVE-style (one-screen) displays to provide liv
 e demonstrations of our ongoing efforts.\n\nhttps://indico.freedesktop.org
