Open Source software projects for the Open Metaverse

The Khronos Group is an open, non-profit, member-driven consortium of over 200 industry-leading organizations creating advanced, royalty-free interoperability standards for 3D graphics, augmented and virtual reality, parallel programming, vision acceleration, machine learning, and camera system runtimes. Khronos standards include Vulkan(R), Vulkan(R) SC, OpenGL(R), OpenGL(R) ES, OpenGL(R) SC, WebGL(TM), SPIR-V(TM), OpenCL(TM), SYCL(TM), OpenVX(TM), NNEF(TM), OpenXR(TM), 3D Commerce(TM), ANARI(TM), glTF(TM), and Kamaros(TM). Khronos members are enabled to contribute to the development of Khronos specifications, are empowered to vote at various stages before public deployment and are able to accelerate the delivery of their cutting-edge accelerated platforms and applications through early access to specification drafts and conformance tests.
