WebVR Becomes WebXR, and Khronos Group!


Details
• What we'll do
In our January Meetup we will consider the sweeping changes initiated at the end of 2016, moving from WebVR for Virtual Reality, to WebXR, including resources into the JavaScript API to support AR (Augmented Reality) and MR (Mixed Reality). We'll also be learning more about WebGL and related browser 3D tech with the Khronos Group
The Khronos Group is a consortium dedicated to the creation of open standards that deliver on the promise of cross-platform technology. Some of their most popular standards are OpenGL, WebGL, Vulkan, and OpenVX. Their latest initiative - OpenXR - brings together all of the major players in the AR/VR space including Google, Microsoft, Oculus, Unity, Nvidia, HTC, and Samsung. Our meetup is dedicated to the adoption and use of these open standards to create universal 3D software ecosystems for the web, games, and especially for AR/VR technologies.
