Unity OpenXR: Spatial Entities

Use the Unity OpenXR: Spatial Entities package to develop cross-platform mixed reality experiences using OpenXR.

Important

This package is available as an experimental package, so it's not ready for production use. The features and documentation in this package might change before it's verified for release.

The Unity OpenXR: Spatial Entities package implements AR Foundation support for OpenXR runtimes that implement the OpenXR Spatial Entities Extensions (Khronos Blog). OpenXR Spatial Entities extensions are cross-platform extensions that provide spatial computing features on multiple OpenXR runtimes.
