openxr 0.0.5

OpenXR bindings for Python.

[](https://unlicense.org) [](https://pypi.org/project/openxr/) [](https://pypi.org/project/openxr/)

OpenXR.py implements Python bindings for [OpenXR](https://www.khronos.org/openxr/) [1.0](https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenXR/specs/1.0/html/xrspec.html), the open standard and cross-platform API for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) hardware.

Installation

$ pip3 install openxr

Prerequisites

• [Python](https://www.python.org) 3.6+ with [ctypes](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html)

• [OpenXR SDK](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenXR-SDK) 1.0.8+

Examples

### Loading the library

import openxr

Development

We recommend Debian 11 (aka [Bullseye](https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/)) as a development environment. If you’re on a Mac, you can run Debian in a virtual machine using [VMware Fusion](https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion.html) or [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org).

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](https://monado.freedesktop.org) project which supports many common devices.
