Key highlights include winning a Khronos RFP for Monado improvements, Rylie Pavlik receiving the Khronie Award for OpenXR specification work, and a roadmap preview covering persistent SLAM mapping for inside-out tracking, non-egocentric hand-tracking use cases, and ElectricMaple — a new GStreamer and Monado-based remote rendering solution teased for announcement at AWE USA 2024. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is ElectricMaple in the context of Monado? ElectricMaple is a remote rendering solution built on GStreamer and Monado. It was in early development at the time of announcement, with details kept limited pending a public reveal at AWE USA 2024 in Long Beach. It represents Collabora's effort to bring remote rendering capabilities to the open-source OpenXR ecosystem. _Developers building XR streaming or remote rendering pipelines track Monado ecosystem developments on daily.dev._ ### What is the vit_interface in Monado and what does it do? The vit_interface is a new interface in Monado that exposes inside-out visual-inertial tracking capabilities, backed by a Basalt-based fork optimized for XR. It enables features like persistent mapping, improved localization accuracy, consistent virtual object placement, efficient re-localization, and loading multiple pre-saved spaces. _XR developers integrating inside-out tracking into open-source runtimes follow Monado updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Open standards, OpenXR, and European pathways to global XR interoperability](https://daily.dev/posts/open-standards-openxr-and-european-pathways-to-global-xr-interoperability-y3aipsbas) · Khronos · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Godot OpenXR Integration Project Update: Major OpenXR Features Now Production-Ready](https://daily.dev/posts/godot-openxr-integration-project-update-major-openxr-features-now-production-ready-j1wth9rr3) · Khronos · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [New OpenXR Validation Layer Helps Developers Build Robustly Portable XR Applications](https://daily.dev/posts/new-openxr-validation-layer-helps-developers-build-robustly-portable-xr-applications-lqtmbxscq) · Khronos · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Making the invisible audible: Building an OpenXR experience for ocean protection](https://daily.dev/posts/making-the-invisible-audible-building-an-openxr-experience-for-ocean-protection-rznvgzqby) · Khronos · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/openxr-monado-recent-progress-and-what-s-to-come-znq1ayrow) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OpenXR & Monado: Recent progress and what's to come","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openxr-monado-recent-progress-and-what-s-to-come-znq1ayrow","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openxr-monado-recent-progress-and-what-s-to-come-znq1ayrow"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:54:37.714Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:20:14.091Z","description":"Collabora reviews recent progress on OpenXR and Monado, the open-source OpenXR runtime.
