The event targets developers, engineers, businesses, and hobbyists interested in open source XR (VR/AR/MR). The conference follows the release of the OpenXR 1.0 specification and aims to bring together the community to advance open drivers, adoption, and collaboration. Collabora highlighted its own open source XR projects — Monado and xrdesktop — as examples of what the ecosystem can achieve. Presentations were planned to cover open source driver development, reverse engineering, and XR application showcases, with a hackerspace for networking. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
