xrApplyHapticFeedback(3)

Name

xrApplyHapticFeedback - Apply haptic feedback

C Specification

The xrApplyHapticFeedback function is defined as:

XrResult xrApplyHapticFeedback(
    XrAction                                    hapticAction,
    uint32_t                                    countSubactionPaths,
    const XrPath*                               subactionPaths,
    const XrHapticBaseHeader*                   hapticEvent);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

hapticAction is the XrAction handle for the desired output action.
countSubactionPaths is the number of elements in the subactionPaths array. If subactionPaths is NULL, this parameter must be 0.
subactionPaths is an array of paths or NULL. If this array is specified, it contains one or more subaction paths that were specified when the action was created. If the array includes a subaction path that was not specified when the action was created the runtime must return XR_ERROR_PATH_INVALID. If this parameter is specified, the runtime must trigger haptic events only on devices represented in the array.
hapticEvent is a pointer to a haptic event structure which starts with an XrHapticBaseHeader.

Description

Triggers a haptic event through the specified action of type XR_TYPE_ACTION_STATE_POSE. The runtime should deliver this request to the appropriate device, but exactly which device, if any, this event is sent to is up to the runtime to decide. If an appropriate device is unavailable the runtime may ignore this request for haptic feedback.

If another haptic event from this session is currently happening on the device bound to this action, the runtime must interrupt that other event and replace it with the new one.

See XrActionCreateInfo for a description of subaction paths, and the restrictions on their use.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

hapticAction must be a valid XrAction handle
If countSubactionPaths is not 0, countSubactionPaths must be a valid uint32_t value
If countSubactionPaths is not 0, subactionPaths must be a pointer to an array of countSubactionPaths XrPath values
hapticEvent must be a pointer to a valid XrHapticBaseHeader structure

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is a valid XrSession handle.
frameBeginInfo is NULL or a pointer to a valid XrFrameBeginInfo.

Description

xrBeginFrame is called prior to the the start of frame rendering.

The runtime must return the success code XR_FRAME_DISCARDED if a prior xrBeginFrame has been called without an intervening call to xrEndFrame.

The runtime may return the success code XR_SESSION_VISIBILITY_UNAVAILABLE if it determines that the current frame will not be visible. In this case the application may elect to omit rendering work for the frame, but should still call xrEndFrame.

The runtime must consider the frame in-progress and ready for an xrEndFrame call if a success code is returned.

xrBeginSession(3)

Name

xrBeginSession - Begins an XrSession

C Specification

The xrBeginSession function is defined as:

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is a valid XrSession handle.
beginInfo is a pointer to an XrSessionBeginInfo struct.

Description

When an app begins a session, it is requesting that the runtime show its rendered output to the user.

Note that a runtime may decide not to show a given session’s output to the user at any time, for example if the user has switched to a different app’s running session. If the session is running but the runtime does not make the session visible, XR_SESSION_VISIBILITY_UNAVAILABLE must be returned. The app should use the XrEventDataSessionStateChanged event to determine when this session is visible to the user and is focused to receive input. If primaryViewConfigurationType in beginInfo is not supported by the XrInstance that created session the runtime must return XR_ERROR_VIEW_CONFIGURATION_TYPE_UNSUPPORTED. If a session was already begun for session, then the runtime must return XR_ERROR_SESSION_RUNNING.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

session must be a valid XrSession handle
beginInfo must be a pointer to a valid XrSessionBeginInfo structure

xrCreateInstance(3)

Name

xrCreateInstance - Creates an OpenXR Instance

C Specification

The xrCreateInstance function is defined as:

XrResult xrCreateInstance(
    const XrInstanceCreateInfo*                 createInfo,
    XrInstance*                                 instance);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

createInfo points to an instance of XrInstanceCreateInfo controlling creation of the instance.
instance points to an XrInstance handle in which the resulting instance is returned.

Description

xrCreateInstance creates the XrInstance, then enables and initializes global API layers and extensions requested by the application. If an extension is provided by an API layer, both the API layer and extension must be specified at xrCreateInstance time. If a specified API layer cannot be found, no XrInstance will be created and the function will return XR_ERROR_API_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT. Likewise, if a specified extension cannot be found the call will return XR_ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT and no XrInstance will be created. Additionally, some runtimes may limit the number of concurrent instances that may be in use. If the application attempts to create more instances than a runtime can simultaneously support, xrCreateInstance will return XR_ERROR_LIMIT_REACHED.

If the XrInstanceCreateInfo struct contains a platform-specific extension for a platform other than the target platform, XR_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED will be returned. The same is true if a mandatory platform-specific extension is defined for the target platform but no matching extension struct is provided in XrInstanceCreateInfo.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

createInfo must be a pointer to a valid XrInstanceCreateInfo structure
instance must be a pointer to an XrInstance handle

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY

xrCreateSwapchainAndroidSurfaceKHR(3)

Name

xrCreateSwapchainAndroidSurfaceKHR - Creates a swapchain and an Android Surface

C Specification

To create an XrSwapchain object and an Android Surface object call:

XrResult xrCreateSwapchainAndroidSurfaceKHR(
    XrSession                                   session,
    const XrSwapchainCreateInfo*                info,
    XrSwapchain*                                swapchain,
    jobject*                                    surface);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is an XrSession handle previously created with xrCreateSession.
info is a pointer to an XrSwapchainCreateInfo structure.
swapchain is a pointer to a handle in which the created XrSwapchain is returned.
surface is a pointer to a jobject where the created Android Surface is returned.

Description

xrCreateSwapchainAndroidSurfaceKHR creates an XrSwapchain object returned in swapchain and an Android Surface jobject returned in surface. The jobject must be valid to be passed back to Java code using JNI and must be valid to be used with ordinary Android APIs for submitting images to Surfaces. The returned XrSwapchain must be valid to be referenced in XrSwapchainSubImage structures to show content on the screen. The width and height passed in XrSwapchainCreateInfo may not be persistent throughout the life cycle of the created swapchain, since on Android, the size of the images is controlled by the producer and possibly changes at any time.

The only function that is allowed to be called on the XrSwapchain returned from this function is xrDestroySwapchain. For example calling any of the functions xrEnumerateSwapchainImages, xrAcquireSwapchainImage, xrWaitSwapchainImage or xrReleaseSwapchainImage is invalid.

The XR runtime must destroy the provided Surface on calling xrDestroySwapchain. Applications writing frames to the Surface thereafter leads to undefined behavior.

xrCreateSwapchainAndroidSurfaceKHR must return the same set of error codes as xrCreateSwapchain under same circumstances plus XR_ERROR_FUNCTION_UNSUPPORTED in case the function is not supported.

Valid Usage of XrSwapchainCreateInfo members

The XrSwapchainCreateInfo::format,
XrSwapchainCreateInfo::sampleCount,
XrSwapchainCreateInfo::faceCount,
XrSwapchainCreateInfo::arraySize and
XrSwapchainCreateInfo::mipCount
members of the structure passed as the info parameter must be zero.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

The [XR_KHR_android_surface_swapchain] extension must be enabled prior to calling xrCreateSwapchainAndroidSurfaceKHR
session must be a valid XrSession handle
info must be a pointer to a valid XrSwapchainCreateInfo structure
swapchain must be a pointer to an XrSwapchain handle
surface must be a pointer to a jobject value

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS
XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is a valid XrSession handle.
frameEndInfo is a pointer to a valid XrFrameEndInfo.

Description

Every call to xrEndFrame must be preceded by a successful call to xrBeginFrame. Failure to do so will result in XR_ERROR_CALL_ORDER_INVALID being returned by xrEndFrame. XrFrameEndInfo may reference swapchains into which the application has rendered for this frame. From each XrSwapchain only one image index is implicitly referenced per frame, the one corresponding to the last call to xrReleaseSwapchainImage. However, a specific swapchain (and by extension a specific swapchain image index) may be referenced in XrFrameEndInfo multiple times. This can be used for example to render a side by side image into a single swapchain image and referencing it twice with differing image rectangles in different layers.

XR_ERROR_LAYER_INVALID will be returned if an unknown or unsupported layer type is passed as one of the XrFrameEndInfo::layers.

XR_ERROR_LAYER_LIMIT_EXCEEDED will be returned if XrFrameEndInfo::layerCount exceeds XrSystemGraphicsProperties::maxLayerCount or if the runtime is unable to composite the specified layers due to resource constraints.

XR_ERROR_SWAPCHAIN_RECT_INVALID will be returned if XrFrameEndInfo::layers contains a composition layer which references pixels outside of the associated swapchain image.

XR_ERROR_ENVIRONMENT_BLEND_MODE_UNSUPPORTED will be returned if XrFrameEndInfo::environmentBlendMode is not supported.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_SESSION_NOT_RUNNING if session is not in the XR_SESSION_STATE_RUNNING, XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE or XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED XrSessionState.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_POSE_INVALID if any pose passed in XrFrameEndInfo contains non-unit quaternions.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

session must be a valid XrSession handle
frameEndInfo must be a pointer to a valid XrFrameEndInfo structure

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties(3)

Name

xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties - Returns up to requested number of global layer properties

C Specification

To determine what set of API layers are available, OpenXR provides the xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties function:

XrResult xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties(
    uint32_t                                    propertyCapacityInput,
    uint32_t*                                   propertyCountOutput,
    XrApiLayerProperties*                       properties);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

propertyCapacityInput is the capacity of the properties array, or 0 to indicate a request to retrieve the required capacity.
propertyCountOutput is a pointer to the count of properties written, or a pointer to the required capacity in the case that propertyCapacityInput is 0.
properties is a pointer to an array of XrApiLayerProperties structures, but can be NULL if propertyCapacityInput is 0.
See the Buffer Size Parameters section for a detailed description of retrieving the required properties size.

Description

The list of available layers may change at any time due to actions outside of the OpenXR runtime, so two calls to xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties with the same parameters may return different results, or retrieve different propertyCountOutput values or properties contents.

Once an instance has been created, the layers enabled for that instance will continue to be enabled and valid for the lifetime of that instance, even if some of them become unavailable for future instances.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

If propertyCapacityInput is not 0, propertyCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value
If propertyCountOutput is not NULL, propertyCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value
If propertyCapacityInput is not 0, properties must be a pointer to an array of propertyCapacityInput XrApiLayerProperties structures

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY

xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(3)

Name

xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties - Returns properties of available instance extensions

C Specification

The application can determine the available instance extensions by calling xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties:

XrResult xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(
    const char*                                 layerName,
    uint32_t                                    propertyCapacityInput,
    uint32_t*                                   propertyCountOutput,
    XrExtensionProperties*                      properties);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

layerName is either NULL or a pointer to a string naming the API layer to retrieve extensions from, as returned by xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties.
propertyCapacityInput is the capacity of the properties array, or 0 to indicate a request to retrieve the required capacity.
propertyCountOutput is a pointer to the count of properties written, or a pointer to the required capacity in the case that propertyCapacityInput is 0.
properties is a pointer to an array of XrExtensionProperties structures, but can be NULL if propertyCapacityInput is 0.
See the Buffer Size Parameters section for a detailed description of retrieving the required properties size.

Description

If properties is NULL, then the number of extensions properties available is returned in propertyCountOutput. Otherwise, propertyCountInput must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the properties array. If propertyCountInput is less than the number of extension properties available, the contents of properties will be undefined. If propertyCountInput is smaller than the number of extensions available, the failure code XR_ERROR_SIZE_INSUFFICIENT and the contents of properties are undefined.

Because the list of available layers may change externally between calls to xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties, two calls may retrieve different results if a layerName is available in one call but not in another. The extensions supported by a layer may also change between two calls, e.g. if the layer implementation is replaced by a different version between those calls.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

If layerName is not NULL, layerName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string
If propertyCapacityInput is not 0, propertyCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value
If propertyCountOutput is not NULL, propertyCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value
If propertyCapacityInput is not 0, properties must be a pointer to an array of propertyCapacityInput XrExtensionProperties structures

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY
XR_ERROR_API_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT
XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST
XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE
XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE
XR_ERROR_SIZE_INSUFFICIENT

If a session enumerates support for a given reference space type, calls to xrCreateReferenceSpace must succeed for that session, with any transient unavailability of poses expressed later during calls to xrLocateSpace.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

session must be a valid XrSession handle
If spaceCapacityInput is not 0, spaceCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value
If spaceCountOutput is not NULL, spaceCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value
If spaceCapacityInput is not 0, spaces must be a pointer to an array of spaceCapacityInput XrReferenceSpaceType values

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS
XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST
XR_ERROR_SESSION_LOST
XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE
XR_ERROR_HANDLE_INVALID
XR_ERROR_SIZE_INSUFFICIENT
XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE

xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats(3)

Name

xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats - Enumerates swapchain formats

C Specification

The xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats is defined as:

XrResult xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats(
    XrSession                                   session,
    uint32_t                                    formatCapacityInput,
    uint32_t*                                   formatCountOutput,
    int64_t*                                    formats);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is the session that enumerates the supported formats.
formatCapacityInput is the capacity of the formats, or 0 to retrieve the required capacity.
formatCountOutput is a pointer to the count of uint64_t formats written, or a pointer to the required capacity in the case that formatCapacityInput is 0.
formats is a pointer to an array of int64_t format ids, but can be NULL if formatCapacityInput is 0. The format ids are specific to the specified graphics API.
See Buffer Size Parameters chapter for a detailed description of retrieving the required formats size.

Description

xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats enumerates the texture formats supported by the current session. The type of formats returned are dependent on the graphics API specified in xrCreateSession. For example, if a DirectX graphics API was specified, then the enumerated formats correspond to the DXGI formats, such as DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM_SRGB.

With an OpenGL-based graphics API, the texture formats correspond to OpenGL internal formats.

With a Direct3D-based graphics API, xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats never returns typeless formats (e.g. DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS). Only concrete formats are returned, and only concrete formats may be specified by applications for swapchain creation.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

session must be a valid XrSession handle
If formatCapacityInput is not 0, formatCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value
If formatCountOutput is not NULL, formatCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value
If formatCapacityInput is not 0, formats must be a pointer to an array of formatCapacityInput int64_t values

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS
XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST

    XrPath*                                     sources);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

action is the XrAction being queried.
sourceCapacityInput is the capacity of the array, or 0 to indicate a request to retrieve the required capacity.
sourceCountOutput is a pointer to the count of action sources, or a pointer to the required capacity in the case that sourceCapacityInput is 0.
sources is a pointer to an application-allocated array that will be filled with the XrPath values for all sources. It can be NULL if sourceCapacityInput is 0.
See Buffer Size Parameters chapter for a detailed description of retrieving the required sources size.

Description

An application can use the xrGetBoundSourcesForAction and xrGetInputSourceLocalizedName calls to prompt the user which physical inputs to use in order to perform an action. A source is the physical control that the action is bound to. An action may be bound to multiple sources at one time, for example an action named hold could be bound to both the X and A buttons.

If an action is unbound, xrGetBoundSourcesForAction will assign 0 to the value pointed-to by sourceCountOutput and not modify the array.

Once the semantic paths for the action’s source are obtained, the application can gather additional information about the source. xrGetInputSourceLocalizedName returns a localized human-readable string describing the source, e.g. 'A Button'.

If the parent session of action is not running, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_SESSION_NOT_RUNNING.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

action must be a valid XrAction handle
If sourceCapacityInput is not 0, sourceCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value
If sourceCountOutput is not NULL, sourceCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value
If sourceCapacityInput is not 0, sources must be a pointer to an array of sourceCapacityInput XrPath values

xrGetInstanceProcAddr(3)

Name

xrGetInstanceProcAddr - Gets a function pointer for an OpenXR function

C Specification

Function pointers for all OpenXR functions can be obtained with the function xrGetInstanceProcAddr.

XrResult xrGetInstanceProcAddr(
    XrInstance                                  instance,
    const char*                                 name,
    PFN_xrVoidFunction*                         function);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

instance is the instance that the function pointer will be compatible with, or NULL for functions not dependent on any instance.
name is the name of the function to obtain.
function is the address of the function pointer to get.

Description

xrGetInstanceProcAddr itself is obtained in a platform- and loader- specific manner. Typically, the loader library will export this function as a function symbol, so applications can link against the loader library, or load it dynamically and look up the symbol using platform-specific APIs. Loaders must export function symbols for all core OpenXR functions. Because of this, applications that use only the core OpenXR functions have no need to use xrGetInstanceProcAddr.

Because an application can call xrGetInstanceProcAddr before creating an instance, xrGetInstanceProcAddr returns a valid function pointer when the instance parameter is XR_NULL_HANDLE and the name parameter is one of the following strings:

No Instance Required

xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties
xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties
xrCreateInstance

xrGetInstanceProcAddr returns XR_ERROR_HANDLE_INVALID if instance is NULL and name is not one of the above strings.

xrGetInstanceProcAddr returns XR_ERROR_FUNCTION_UNSUPPORTED if instance is a valid instance and the string specified in name is not the name of an OpenXR core or enabled extension function.

If name is the name of an extension function, then the result returned by xrGetInstanceProcAddr will depend upon how the instance was created. If instance was created with the related extension’s name appearing in the XrInstanceCreateInfo::enabledExtensionNames array, then xrGetInstanceProcAddr returns a valid function pointer. If the related extension’s name did not appear in the XrInstanceCreateInfo::enabledExtensionNames array during the creation of instance, then xrGetInstanceProcAddr returns XR_ERROR_FUNCTION_UNSUPPORTED. Because of this, function pointers returned by xrGetInstanceProcAddr using one XrInstance may not be valid when used with objects related to a different XrInstance.

The returned function pointer is of type PFN_xrVoidFunction, and must be cast to the type of the function being queried.

The table below defines the various use cases for xrGetInstanceProcAddr and return value (“fp” is “function pointer”) for each case.

Table 1. xrGetInstanceProcAddr behavior
`instance` parameter	`name` parameter	return value
*	`NULL`	undefined
invalid instance	*	undefined
`NULL`	xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties	fp
`NULL`	xrEnumerateApiLayerProperties	fp
`NULL`	xrCreateInstance	fp
`NULL`	* (any `name` not covered above)	`NULL`
instance	core OpenXR function	fp¹
instance	enabled extension function for `instance`	fp¹
instance	* (any `name` not covered above)	`NULL`

1: The returned function pointer must only be called with a dispatchable object (the first parameter) that is instance or a child of instance.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

If instance is not XR_NULL_HANDLE, instance must be a valid XrInstance handle
name must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string
function must be a pointer to a PFN_xrVoidFunction value

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_HANDLE_INVALID
XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST

xrGetReferenceSpaceBoundsRect(3)

Name

xrGetReferenceSpaceBoundsRect - Gets the bounds rectangle of a reference space

C Specification

XR systems may have limited real world spatial ranges in which users can freely move around while remaining tracked. Applications may wish to query these boundaries and alter application behavior or content placement to ensure the user can complete the experience while remaining within the boundary. Applications can query this information using xrGetReferenceSpaceBoundsRect.

When called, xrGetReferenceSpaceBoundsRect should return the extents of a rectangle that is clear of obstacles down to the floor, allowing where the user can freely move while remaining tracked, if available for that reference space. The returned extent represents the dimensions of an axis-aligned bounding box where the XrExtent2Df::width and XrExtent2Df::height fields correspond to the X and Z axes of the provided space, with the extents centered at the origin of the space. Not all systems or spaces may support boundaries. If a runtime is unable to provide bounds for a given space, XR_SPACE_BOUNDS_UNAVAILABLE will be returned and all fields of bounds will be set to 0.

The returned extents are expressed relative to the natural origin of the provided XrReferenceSpaceType and must not incorporate any origin offsets specified by the app during calls to xrCreateReferenceSpace.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_REFERENCE_SPACE_UNSUPPORTED if the XrReferenceSpaceType passed in createInfo is not supported by this session.

When a runtime will begin operating with updated space bounds, the runtime must queue a corresponding XrEventDataReferenceSpaceChangePending event.

XrResult xrGetReferenceSpaceBoundsRect(
    XrSession                                   session,
    XrReferenceSpaceType                        referenceSpaceType,
    XrExtent2Df*                                bounds);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

type is the XrStructureType of this structure.
session is a handle to an XrSession previously created with xrCreateSession.
referenceSpaceType is the reference space type whose bounds should be retrieved.
bounds is the returned space extents.

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

session must be a valid XrSession handle
referenceSpaceType must be a valid XrReferenceSpaceType value
bounds must be a pointer to an XrExtent2Df structure

xrLocateSpace(3)

Name

xrLocateSpace - Locates a space with reference to another space

C Specification

xrLocateSpace provides the physical relationship of a space relative to a base space at a specified time, if currently known by the runtime.

XrResult xrLocateSpace(
    XrSpace                                     space,
    XrSpace                                     baseSpace,
    XrTime                                      time,
    XrSpaceRelation*                            relation);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

space identifies the target space to locate.
baseSpace identifies the underlying space in which to locate space.
time is the time for which the relation should be provided.
relation provides a relation which transforms coordinates from baseSpace to space.

Description

For a time in the past, the runtime should relate the spaces based on the runtime’s most accurate current understanding of how the world was at that historical time.

For a time in the future, the runtime should relate the spaces based on the runtime’s most up-to-date prediction of how the world will be at that future time.

The minimum valid range of values for time are described in ../../openxr.html#prediction-time-limits. For values of time outside this range, xrLocateSpace may return a relation with no position and XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT unset.

Some devices improve their understanding of the world as the device is used. The relation returned by xrLocateSpace for a given space, baseSpace and time may change over time, even for spaces that track static objects, as one or both spaces adjust their origins.

During tracking loss of space relative to baseSpace, runtimes should continue to provide inferred or last-known position and orientation values. These inferred poses can, for example, be based on neck model updates, inertial dead reckoning, or a last-known position, so long as it is still reasonable for the application to use that pose. While a runtime is providing position data, it must continue to set XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT but it can clear XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT to indicate that the position is inferred or last-known in this way.

If the runtime has not yet observed even a last-known pose for how space and baseSpace relate (e.g. one space is an action space bound to a motion controller that has not yet been detected, or the two spaces are in disconnected fragments of the runtime’s tracked volume), the runtime should return a relation with no position and XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT unset.

The runtime must return a relation with both XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT and XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT set when relating space and baseSpace if both spaces were created relative to the same entity (e.g. two action spaces for the same action), even if the entity is currently untracked. The relation in this case is the difference in the two spaces' application-specified transforms relative to that common entity.

The runtime should return a relation with XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT set and XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT unset for spaces tracking two static entities in the world when their relative pose is known to the runtime. This enables applications to make use of the runtime’s latest knowledge of the world, even during tracking loss.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

space must be a valid XrSpace handle
baseSpace must be a valid XrSpace handle
relation must be a pointer to an XrSpaceRelation structure
Both of baseSpace and space must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same XrSession

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS
XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST
XR_ERROR_SESSION_LOST

xrLocateViews(3)

Name

xrLocateViews - Gets view and projection info

C Specification

The xrLocateViews function is defined as:

XrResult xrLocateViews(
    XrSession                                   session,
    const XrViewLocateInfo*                     viewLocateInfo,
    XrViewState*                                viewState,

    uint32_t*                                   viewCountOutput,
    XrView*                                     views);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is a handle to the provided XrSession.
viewLocateInfo is a pointer to a valid XrViewLocateInfo structure.
viewState is the output structure with the viewer state information.
viewCapacityInput is an input parameter which specifies the capacity of the views array. The required capacity is no more than XrSystemGraphicsProperties::maxViewCount
viewCountOutput is an output parameter which identifies the valid count of views.
views is an array of XrView.
See Buffer Size Parameters chapter for a detailed description of retrieving the required views size.

Description

Valid Usage

displayTime should be a valid time in the future.

The function xrLocateViews returns the view and projection info for a particular display time. This time is typically the XrFrameState::predictedDisplayTime for a given frame. Repeatedly calling xrLocateViews with the same time may not necessarily return the same result. Instead the prediction gets increasingly accurate as the function is called closer to the given time for which a prediction is made. This allows an application to get the predicted views as late as possible in its pipeline to get the least amount of latency and prediction error.

xrLocateViews returns an array of XrView elements, one for each view of the running session’s active view configuration, along with an XrViewState containing additional state data shared across all views for the primary viewer. The eye each view corresponds to is statically defined in XrViewConfigurationType in case the application wants to apply eye-specific rendering traits. The XrViewState and XrView member data may change on subsequent calls to xrLocateViews, and so applications must not assume it to be constant.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

session must be a valid XrSession handle
viewLocateInfo must be a pointer to a valid XrViewLocateInfo structure
viewState must be a pointer to an XrViewState structure
If viewCapacityInput is not 0, viewCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value
If viewCountOutput is not NULL, viewCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value
If viewCapacityInput is not 0, views must be a pointer to an array of viewCapacityInput XrView structures

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS
XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING

On failure, this command returns

XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST
XR_ERROR_SESSION_LOST

    char*                                       buffer);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

instance is an instance previously created.
path is the valid XrPath value to retrieve the path string for.
bufferCapacityInput is the capacity of the buffer, or 0 to indicate a request to retrieve the required capacity.
bufferCountOutput is a pointer to the count of characters written (including the terminating '\0'), or a pointer to the required capacity in the case that bufferCapacityInput is 0.
buffer is a pointer to an application-allocated buffer that will be filled with the semantic path string. It can be NULL if bufferCapacityInput is 0.
See Buffer Size Parameters chapter for a detailed description of retrieving the required buffer size.

Description

xrPathToString retrieves the path name string associated with an XrPath, in the context of a given XrInstance, in the form of a NULL terminated string placed into a caller-allocated buffer. Since the mapping between a well-formed path name string and an XrPath is bijective, there will always be exactly one string for each valid XrPath value. This can be useful if the calling application receives an XrPath value that they had not previously retrieved via xrStringToPath. During the lifetime of the given XrInstance, the path name string retrieved by this function for a given valid XrPath will not change. For invalid paths, including XR_NULL_PATH, XR_ERROR_PATH_INVALID will be returned.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

instance must be a valid XrInstance handle
If bufferCapacityInput is not 0, bufferCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value
If bufferCountOutput is not NULL, bufferCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value
If bufferCapacityInput is not 0, buffer must be a pointer to an array of bufferCapacityInput char values

The xrSessionInsertDebugUtilsLabelEXT function inserts an individual label within session. The individual labels are useful for different reasons based on the type of debugging scenario. When used with something active like a profiler or debugger, it identifies a single point of time. When used with logging, the individual label identifies that a particular location has been passed at the point the log message is triggered. Because of this usage, individual labels only exist in a log until the next call to any of the label functions:

xrStringToPath(3)

Name

xrStringToPath - Converts a string to a semantic path

C Specification

The xrStringToPath function is defined as:

XrResult xrStringToPath(
    XrInstance                                  instance,
    const char*                                 pathString,
    XrPath*                                     path);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

instance is an instance previously created.
pathString is the path name string to retrieve the associated XrPath for.
path is the output parameter, which must point to an XrPath. Given a well-formed path name string, this will be populated with an opaque value that is constant for that path string during the lifetime of that instance.

Description

xrStringToPath retrieves the XrPath value for a well-formed path string. If such a value had not yet been assigned by the runtime to the provided path string in this XrInstance, one must be assigned at this point. All calls to this function with the same XrInstance and path string must retrieve the same XrPath value. Upon failure, xrStringToPath must return an appropriate XrResult, and may set the output parameter to XR_NULL_PATH. See Path Atom Type for the conditions under which an error may be returned when this function is given a valid XrInstance and a well-formed path string.

If the runtime’s resources are exhausted and it cannot create the path, a return value of XR_ERROR_PATH_COUNT_EXCEEDED must be returned. If the application specifies a string that is not a well-formed path string, XR_ERROR_PATH_FORMAT_INVALID must be returned.

A return value of XR_SUCCESS from xrStringToPath may not necessarily imply that the runtime has a component or other source of data that will be accessible through that semantic path. It only means that the path string supplied was well-formed and that the retrieved XrPath maps to the given path string within and during the lifetime of the XrInstance given.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

instance must be a valid XrInstance handle
pathString must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string
path must be a pointer to an XrPath value

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

    const XrActiveActionSet*                    actionSets);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is a handle to the XrSession that all provided action set handles belong to.
countActionSets is an integer specifying the number of valid elements in the actionSets array.
actionSets is a pointer to an array of one or more XrActiveActionSet structures, all from session, that should be synchronized.

Description

xrSyncActionData updates the current state of input actions. Repeated input action state queries between subsequent synchronization calls must return the same values. This call must be called with an array containing the XrActiveActionSet structures, that reference action sets which belong to a single, running session, that should be updated during this synchronization. Any XrActionSet that has been created in this session but was not passed to xrSyncActionData will not be updated and all action state queries will return that the action is inactive.

If session is not running, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_SESSION_NOT_RUNNING. If session is not focused, the runtime must return XR_SESSION_NOT_FOCUSED, and all actions in the session will be inactive.

Parameter Descriptions

session is a handle to the XrSession that all provided action set handles belong to.
countActionSets is an integer specifying the number of valid elements in the actionSets array.
actionSets is a pointer to an array of one or more XrActiveActionSet structures, all from session, that should be synchronized.

C Specification

The xrWaitFrame function is defined as:

XrResult xrWaitFrame(
    XrSession                                   session,
    const XrFrameWaitInfo*                      frameWaitInfo,
    XrFrameState*                               frameState);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

session is a valid XrSession handle.
frameWaitInfo is a pointer to a valid XrFrameWaitInfo.
frameState is a pointer to a valid XrFrameState, an output parameter.

Description

If a frame submitted to xrEndFrame is consumed by the compositor before its target display time, a subsequent call to xrWaitFrame must block the caller until the start of the next rendering interval after the frame’s target display time as determined by the runtime.

If a frame submitted to xrEndFrame misses its target display time, a subsequent call to xrWaitFrame must block the caller until that frame is consumed by the compositor, at which point it must return immediately.

If no frame has been submitted to xrEndFrame since any prior call to xrWaitFrame, a subsequent call to xrWaitFrame must block the caller until the start of the next rendering interval time as determined by the runtime.

The runtime may dynamically adjust the start time of the rendering interval relative to the display hardware’s refresh cycle to minimize graphics processor contention between the application and the compositor.

xrWaitFrame must be callable from any thread, including a different thread than xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame are being called from.

Calling xrWaitFrame must be externally synchronized by the application, concurrent calls may result in undefined behavior.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_SESSION_NOT_RUNNING if session is not in the XR_SESSION_STATE_RUNNING, XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE or XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED XrSessionState.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

session must be a valid XrSession handle
If frameWaitInfo is not NULL, frameWaitInfo must be a pointer to a valid XrFrameWaitInfo structure
frameState must be a pointer to an XrFrameState structure

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

xrWaitSwapchainImage(3)

Name

xrWaitSwapchainImage - Wait for a swapchain image to be available

C Specification

The xrWaitSwapchainImage function is defined as:

XrResult xrWaitSwapchainImage(
    XrSwapchain                                 swapchain,
    const XrSwapchainImageWaitInfo*             waitInfo);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

swapchain is the swapchain from which to wait for an image.
waitInfo is a pointer to an XrSwapchainImageWaitInfo struct.

Description

Before an application can begin writing to a swapchain image, it must first wait on the image to avoid writing to it before the compositor has finished reading from it. xrWaitSwapchainImage will implicitly wait on the oldest acquired swapchain image which has not yet been successfully waited on. Once a swapchain image has been successfully waited on, it must be released before waiting on the next acquired swapchain image.

This function may block for longer than the timeout specified in XrSwapchainImageWaitInfo due to scheduling or contention.

If the timeout expires without the image becoming available for writing, XR_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED is returned. If xrWaitSwapchainImage returns XR_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED, the next call to xrWaitSwapchainImage will wait on the same image index again until the function succeeds with XR_SUCCESS. Note that this is not an error code; XR_SUCCEEDED(XR_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED) is true.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_CALL_ORDER_INVALID if no image has been acquired by calling xrAcquireSwapchainImage.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

swapchain must be a valid XrSwapchain handle
waitInfo must be a pointer to a valid XrSwapchainImageWaitInfo structure

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

XR_SUCCESS
XR_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED

XrInstance(3)

Name

XrInstance - Opaque handle to an instance object

C Specification

XR_DEFINE_HANDLE(XrInstance)

Description

An OpenXR instance is an object that allows an OpenXR application to communicate with an OpenXR runtime. The application accomplishes this communication by calling xrCreateInstance and receiving a handle to the resulting XrInstance object.

The XrInstance object stores and tracks OpenXR-related application state, without storing any such state in the application’s global address space. This allows the application to create multiple instances as well as safely encapsulate the application’s OpenXR state since this object is opaque to the application. OpenXR runtimes may limit the number of simultaneous XrInstance objects that may be created and used, but they must support the creation and usage of at least one XrInstance object per process.

Physically, this state may be stored in any of the OpenXR loader, OpenXR API layers or the OpenXR runtime components. The exact storage and distribution of this saved state is implementation-dependent, except where indicated by this specification.

XrSession(3)

Name

XrSession - Opaque handle to a session object

C Specification

XR_DEFINE_HANDLE(XrSession)

Description

A session represents an application’s intention to display XR content to the user. An application makes its XR content eligible to be displayed by beginning a session with xrBeginSession, causing it to enter the running state. It may then hide its XR content for some period by ending its session with xrEndSession, causing it to leave the running state.

Only running sessions may become focused sessions that receive XR input. When a session is not running, the application must not submit frames. This is important because without a running session, the runtime no longer has to spend resources on sub-systems (tracking etc.) that are no longer needed by the application.

A session may be running but not currently visible, as another running session may take precedence. The XrEventDataSessionStateChanged event indicates changes to visibility or input focus states. Runtimes each establish their own policy for when an application has the right to make its running session visible in the XR display.

An application must set the current view configuration and supported view configurations before calling xrBeginSession.

XrSpace(3)

Name

XrSpace - Opaque handle to a space

C Specification

Across both virtual reality and augmented reality, XR applications have a core need to map the location of virtual objects to the corresponding real-world locations where they will be rendered. Spaces allow applications to explicitly create and specify the frames of reference in which they choose to track the real world, and then determine how those frames of reference move relative to one another over time.

XR_DEFINE_HANDLE(XrSpace)

Description

Spaces are represented by XrSpace handles, which the application creates and then uses in API calls. Whenever an application calls a function that returns coordinates, it provides an XrSpace to specify the frame of reference in which those coordinates will be expressed. Similarly, when providing coordinates to a function, the application specifies which XrSpace the runtime should use to interpret those coordinates.

OpenXR defines a set of well-known reference spaces that applications use to bootstrap their spatial reasoning. These reference spaces are: VIEW, LOCAL and STAGE. Each reference space has a well-defined meaning, which establishes where its origin is positioned and how its axes are oriented.

Runtimes whose tracking systems improve their understanding of the world over time may track spaces independently. For example, even though a LOCAL space and a STAGE space each map their origin to a static position in the world, a runtime with an inside-out tracking system may introduce slight adjustments to the origin of each space on a continuous basis to keep each origin in place.

Spaces like the STAGE space may be reconfigured by the user, causing their origin to jump instantaneously. When a discontinuity in the origin of a space occurs, runtimes should delay representing these changes to the application until the next call to xrPollEvent. This allows applications to cleanly detect the change in key poses before and after the discontinuity.

Beyond well-known reference spaces, runtimes expose other independently-tracked spaces, such as a pose action space that tracks the pose of a motion controller over time.

When one or both spaces are tracking a dynamic object, passing in an updated time to xrLocateSpace each frame will result in an updated relative pose. For example, the relationship of the left hand’s pose action space to the STAGE reference space will change each frame as the user’s hand moves relative to the stage’s predefined origin on the floor. In other XR APIs, it is common to report the "pose" of an object relative to some presumed underlying global space. This API is careful to not explicitly define such an underlying global space, because it does not apply to all systems. Some systems will support no STAGE space, while others may support a STAGE space that switches between various physical stages with dynamic availability. To satisfy this wide variability, "poses" are always described as the relationship between two spaces.

Some devices improve their understanding of the world as the device is used. The relation returned by xrLocateSpace in later frames may change over time, even for spaces that track static objects, as either the target space or base space adjusts its origin.

Composition layers submitted by the application include an XrSpace for the runtime to use to position that layer over time. Composition layers whose XrSpace is relative to the VIEW reference space are implicitly "head-locked", even if they may not be "display-locked" for non-head-mounted form factors.

Name

XrSwapchain - Opaque handle to a swapchain object

C Specification

XR_DEFINE_HANDLE(XrSwapchain)

Description

Normal XR applications will want to present rendered images to the user. To allow this, the runtime provides images organized in swapchains for the application to render into. The runtime must allow applications to create multiple swapchains.

Swapchain image format support by the runtime is specified by the xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats function. Runtimes should support R8G8B8A8 and R8G8B8A8 sRGB formats if possible.

Swapchain images can be 2D or 2D Array.

Rendering operations involving composition of submitted layers should be assumed to be internally performed by the runtime in linear color space. Images submitted in sRGB color space must be created using an API-specific sRGB format (e.g. DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM_SRGB, GL_SRGBA, VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB) to apply automatic sRGB-to-linear conversion when read by the runtime. All other formats will be treated as linear values.

Note

DXGI resources will be created with their associated TYPELESS format, but the runtime will use the application-specified format for reading the data.

type is the XrStructureType of this structure.
next is NULL or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
actionName is an array containing a NULL terminated string with the name of this action.
actionType is the XrActionType of the action to be created.
countSubactionPaths is the number of elements in the subactionPaths array. If subactionPaths is NULL, this parameter must be 0.
subactionPaths is an array of XrPath or NULL. If this array is specified, it contains one or more subaction paths that the application intends to query action state for.
localizedActionName is an array containing a NULL terminated UTF-8 string that can be presented to the user as a description of the action. This string should be in the system’s current active locale.

Description

Subaction paths are a mechanism that enables applications to use the same action name and handle on multiple devices. Applications can query action state using subaction paths that differentiate data coming from each device. This allows the runtime to group logically equivalent actions together in system UI. For instance, an application could create a single pick_up action with the /user/hand/left and /user/hand/right subaction paths and use the subaction paths to independently query the state of pick_up_with_left_hand and pick_up_with_right_hand.

Applications can create actions with or without the subactionPaths set to a list of paths. If this list of paths is omitted (i.e. subactionPaths is set to NULL, and countSubactionPaths is set to 0), the application is opting out of filtering action results by subaction paths and any call to get action data must also omit subaction paths.

If subactionPaths is specified and any of the following conditions are not satisfied, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_PATH_INVALID:

Each path provided is one of:
- /user/head
- /user/hand/left
- /user/hand/right
- /user/gamepad
- /user
No path appears in the list more than once

Including /user in the list of subaction paths creates an 'other' bucket for action data to be filtered into. When /user is included in the list passed to xrGetActionState* the runtime must include data for all devices which are not included in the other subaction paths into the /user bucket. Extensions may append additional top level user paths to the above list.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_PATH_INVALID in the following circumstances:

The application specified subaction paths at action creation and the application called xrGetActionState* or a haptic function with an empty subaction path array.
The application called xrGetActionState* or a haptic function with a subaction path that was not specified when the action was created.

If actionName or localizedActionName are empty strings, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_NAME_INVALID. If actionName or localizedActionName are duplicates of the corresponding field for any existing action in the specified action set, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_NAME_DUPLICATED. If actionName contains characters which are not allowed in a single level of a well-formed path string, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_PATH_FORMAT_INVALID.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

type must be XR_TYPE_ACTION_CREATE_INFO
next must be NULL
actionName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string whose length is less than or equal to XR_MAX_ACTION_NAME_SIZE
actionType must be a valid XrActionType value
If countSubactionPaths is not 0, countSubactionPaths must be a valid uint32_t value
If countSubactionPaths is not 0, subactionPaths must be a pointer to an array of countSubactionPaths XrPath values
localizedActionName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string whose length is less than or equal to XR_MAX_LOCALIZED_ACTION_NAME_SIZE

type is the XrStructureType of this structure.
next is NULL or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
actionSetName is an array containing a NULL terminated non-empty string with the name of this action set.
localizedActionSetName is an array containing a NULL terminated UTF-8 string that can be presented to the user as a description of the action set. This string should be presented in the system’s current active locale.
priority defines which action sets' actions are active on a given input source when actions on multiple active action sets are bound to the same input source. Larger priority numbers take precedence over smaller priority numbers.

Description

When multiple actions are bound to the same input source, the priority of each action set determines which bindings are suppressed. Runtimes must ignore bindings from action sets with a lower priority number if those specific bindings are also present in active actions within a higher priority action set. If multiple action sets with the same priority are bound to the same input source and that is the highest priority number, runtimes must process all those bindings at the same time.

Two actions are considered to be bound to the same input source if they use the same identifier and optional location path segments, even if they have different component segments.

When runtimes are ignoring bindings because of priority, they must treat the binding to that input source as though they do not exist. That means the isActive field must be false when retrieving action data, and that the runtime must not provide any visual, haptic, or other feedback related to the binding of that action to that input source. Other actions in the same action set which are bound to input sources that do not collide are not affected and are processed as normal.

If actionSetName or localizedActionSetName are empty strings, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_NAME_INVALID. If actionSetName or localizedActionSetName are duplicates of the corresponding field for any existing action set in the specified session, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_NAME_DUPLICATED. If actionSetName contains characters which are not allowed in a single level of a well-formed path string, the runtime must return XR_ERROR_PATH_FORMAT_INVALID.

type is the XrStructureType of this structure.
next is NULL or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
layerFlags is a bitmask of XrCompositionLayerFlagBits describing flags to apply to the layer.
space is the XrSpace in which the pose of each XrCompositionLayerProjectionView is evaluated over time.
viewCount is the count of views in the views array. This must be equal to the number of view poses returned by xrLocateViews.
views is the array of type XrCompositionLayerProjectionView containing each projection layer view.

Description

Note

Because a runtime may reproject the layer over time, a projection layer should specify an XrSpace in which to maximize stability of the layer content. For example, a projection layer containing world-locked content should use a XrSpace which is also world-locked, such as the LOCAL or STAGE reference spaces. In the case that the projection layer should be head-locked, such as a heads up display, the VIEW reference space would provide the highest quality layer reprojection.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

next must be NULL
layerFlags must be 0 or a valid combination of XrCompositionLayerFlagBits values
space must be a valid XrSpace handle

Description

The count and order of view poses submitted with XrCompositionLayerProjection must be the same order as that returned by xrLocateViews. The XrCompositionLayerProjectionView::pose and XrCompositionLayerProjectionView::fov should almost always derive from XrView::pose and XrView::fov as found in the xrLocateViews::views array. However, applications may submit an XrCompositionLayerProjectionView which has a different view or FOV than that from xrLocateViews. In this case, the runtime will map the view and FOV to the system display appropriately. In the case that two submitted views within a single layer overlap, they are composited in view array order. In the case that submitted projection layers overlap, they are composited in layer array order.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

Description

The XrCompositionLayerQuad layer is useful for user interface elements or 2D content rendered into the virtual world. The layer’s XrSwapchainSubImage::swapchain image is applied to a quad in the virtual world space. Only front face of the quad surface is visible; the back face is not visible and must not be drawn by the runtime. A quad layer has no thickness; it is a two-dimensional object positioned and oriented in 3D space. The position of a quad refers to the center of the quad within the given XrSpace. The orientation of the quad refers to the orientation of the normal vector from the front face. The size of a quad refers to the quad’s size in the x-y plane of the given XrSpace’s coordinate system. A quad with a position of {0,0,0}, rotation of {0,0,0,1} (no rotation), and a size of {1,1} refers to a 1 meter x 1 meter quad centered at {0,0,0} with its front face normal vector coinciding with the +z axis.

For each XrDebugUtilsMessengerEXT that is created the XrDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT::messageSeverities and XrDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT::messageTypes determine when that XrDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT::userCallback is called. The process to determine if the user’s userCallback is triggered when an event occurs is as follows:

The runtime will perform a bitwise AND of the event’s XrDebugUtilsMessageSeverityFlagBitsEXT with the XrDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT::messageSeverities provided during creation of the XrDebugUtilsMessengerEXT object.
If this results in 0, the message is skipped.
The runtime will perform bitwise AND of the event’s XrDebugUtilsMessageTypeFlagBitsEXT with the XrDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT::messageTypes provided during the creation of the XrDebugUtilsMessengerEXT object.
If this results in 0, the message is skipped.
If the message of the current event is not skipped, the callback will be called with the message.

The callback will come directly from the component that detected the event, unless some other layer intercepts the calls for its own purposes (filter them in a different way, log to a system error log, etc.).

XrEventDataBuffer(3)

Name

XrEventDataBuffer - Event buffer

C Specification

The XrEventDataBuffer is a structure passed to xrPollEvent large enough to contain any returned event data element. The maximum size is specified by XR_MAX_EVENT_DATA_SIZE.

It is sufficient to clear the type and next parameters of an XrEventDataBuffer when passing it as an input to xrPollEvent.

An XrEventDataBuffer may be type-cast to an XrEventDataBaseHeader pointer or a pointer to any other appropriate event data based on the type parameter.

typedef struct XrEventDataBuffer {
    XrStructureType             type;
    const void* XR_MAY_ALIAS    next;
    uint8_t                     varying[4000];
} XrEventDataBuffer;

XrEventDataInstanceLossPending(3)

Name

XrEventDataInstanceLossPending - Event indicating instance loss will occur

C Specification

typedef struct XrEventDataInstanceLossPending {

    const void* XR_MAY_ALIAS    next;
    XrTime                      lossTime;
} XrEventDataInstanceLossPending;

Members

Receiving the XrEventDataInstanceLossPending event structure indicates that the application is about to lose the indicated XrInstance at the indicated lossTime in the future. The application should call xrDestroyInstance and relinquish any instance-specific resources. This typically occurs to make way for a replacement of the underlying runtime, such as via a software update.

Description

After the application has destroyed all of its instances and their children and waited past the specified time, it may then re-try xrCreateInstance in a loop waiting for whatever maintenance the runtime is performing to complete. The runtime will return XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST from xrCreateInstance as long as it is unable to create the instance. Once the runtime has returned and is able to continue, it must resume returning XR_SUCCESS from xrCreateInstance if valid data is passed in.

Member Descriptions

type is the XrStructureType of this structure.
next is NULL or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
lossTime is the absolute time at which the indicated instance will be considered lost and become unusable.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

XrEventDataReferenceSpaceChangePending(3)

Name

XrEventDataReferenceSpaceChangePending - Notifies the application that a reference space is changing

C Specification

The XrEventDataReferenceSpaceChangePending event is sent to the application to notify it that the origin (and perhaps the bounds) of a reference space is changing. This may occur due to the user recentering the space explicitly, or the runtime otherwise switching to a different space definition.

The reference space change must only take effect for xrLocateSpace or xrLocateViews calls whose XrTime parameter is greater than or equal to the changeTime provided in that event. Runtimes should provide a changeTime to apps that allows for a deep render pipeline to present frames that are already in flight using the previous definition of the space. Runtimes should choose a changeTime that is midway between the displayTime of future frames to avoid threshold issues with apps that calculate future frame times using displayPeriod.

The pose provided here must only describe the change in the natural origin of the reference space and must not incorporate any origin offsets specified by the app during calls to xrCreateReferenceSpace. If the runtime does not know the relationship between the new and the previous space, poseValid must be false, and the position and orientation of the pose are undefined.

typedef struct XrEventDataReferenceSpaceChangePending {
    XrStructureType             type;
    const void* XR_MAY_ALIAS    next;
    XrReferenceSpaceType        referenceSpaceType;

next is NULL or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
interactionProfile is the XrPath of the interaction profile path for the topLevelUserPath used to retrieve this info, or XR_PATH_NULL if there is no active interaction profile at that top level user path.

Description

The runtime must only include interaction profiles that the application has provided bindings for via xrSetInteractionProfileSuggestedBindings or XR_PATH_NULL. If the runtime is rebinding an interaction profile provided by the application to a device that the application did not provide bindings for, it must return the interaction profile path that it is emulating. If the runtime is unable to provide input because it cannot emulate any of the application-provided interaction profiles, it must return XR_PATH_NULL.

    uint32_t              image;
} XrSwapchainImageOpenGLKHR;

Members

Member Descriptions

type is the XrStructureType of this structure.
next is NULL or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
image is an index indicating the current OpenGL swapchain image to use.

Description

If a given session was created with a XrGraphicsBindingOpenGL*KHR, the following conditions must apply.

Calls to xrEnumerateSwapchainImages on an XrSwapchain in that session must return an array of XrSwapchainImageOpenGLKHR structures.
Whenever an OpenXR function accepts an XrSwapchainImageBaseHeader pointer as a parameter in that session, the runtime must also accept a pointer to an XrSwapchainImageOpenGLKHR.

The OpenXR runtime must interpret the bottom-left corner of the swapchain image as the coordinate origin unless specified otherwise by extension functionality.

The OpenXR runtime must interpret the swapchain images in a clip space of positive Y pointing up, near Z plane at -1, and far Z plane at 1.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

The [XR_KHR_opengl_enable] extension must be enabled prior to using XrSwapchainImageOpenGLKHR
type must be XR_TYPE_SWAPCHAIN_IMAGE_OPENGL_KHR
next must be NULL
image must be a valid uint32_t value

Description

Enumerant Descriptions

XR_ENVIRONMENT_BLEND_MODE_OPAQUE. The composition layers will be displayed with no view of the physical world behind them. The composited image will be interpreted as an RGB image, ignoring the composited alpha channel. This is the typical mode for VR experiences, although this mode can also be supported on devices that support video passthrough.
XR_ENVIRONMENT_BLEND_MODE_ADDITIVE. The composition layers will be additively blended with the real world behind the display. The composited image will be interpreted as an RGB image, ignoring the composited alpha channel during the additive blending. This will cause black composited pixels to appear transparent. This is the typical mode for an AR experience on a see-through headset with an additive display, although this mode can also be supported on devices that support video passthrough.
XR_ENVIRONMENT_BLEND_MODE_ALPHA_BLEND. The composition layers will be alpha-blended with the real world behind the display. The composited image will be interpreted as an RGBA image, with the composited alpha channel determining each pixel’s level of blending with the real world behind the display. This is the typical mode for an AR experience on a phone or headset that supports video passthrough.

XrReferenceSpaceType(3)

Name

XrReferenceSpaceType - Reference space types

C Specification

An XrSpace handle for a reference space is created using xrCreateReferenceSpace, by specifying the chosen reference space type and a pose within the natural reference frame defined for that reference space type.

Runtimes implement well-known reference spaces from XrReferenceSpaceType if they support tracking of that kind:

typedef enum XrReferenceSpaceType {
    XR_REFERENCE_SPACE_TYPE_VIEW = 1,
    XR_REFERENCE_SPACE_TYPE_LOCAL = 2,
    XR_REFERENCE_SPACE_TYPE_STAGE = 3,
    XR_REFERENCE_SPACE_TYPE_MAX_ENUM = 0x7FFFFFFF
} XrReferenceSpaceType;

Description

Available reference space types are indicated by xrEnumerateReferenceSpaces. Note that other spaces can be created as well, such as pose action spaces created by xrCreateActionSpace, which are not enumerated by that API.

Enumerant Descriptions

XR_REFERENCE_SPACE_TYPE_VIEW. The VIEW space tracks the view origin used to generate view transforms for the primary viewer (or centroid of view origins if stereo), with +Y up, +X to the right, and -Z forward. This space points in the forward direction for the viewer without incorporating the user’s eye orientation, and is not gravity-aligned.

VIEW space is primarily useful when projecting from the user’s perspective into another space to obtain a targeting ray, or when rendering small head-locked content such as a reticle. Content rendered in VIEW space will stay at a fixed point on head-mounted displays and may be uncomfortable to view if too large. To obtain the ideal view and projection transforms to use each frame for rendering world content, applications should call xrLocateViews instead of using this space.
XR_REFERENCE_SPACE_TYPE_LOCAL. The LOCAL reference space establishes a world-locked origin, gravity-aligned to exclude pitch and roll, with +Y up, +X to the right, and -Z forward. This space locks in both its initial position and orientation, which the runtime may define to be either the initial position at app launch or some other calibrated zero position.

LOCAL space is useful when an app needs to render seated-scale content that is not positioned relative to the physical floor.

When a user needs to recenter LOCAL space, a runtime may offer some system-level recentering interaction that is transparent to the application, but which causes the current leveled head space to become the new LOCAL space. When such a recentering occurs, the runtime must queue the XrEventDataReferenceSpaceChangePending event, with the recentered LOCAL space origin only taking effect for xrLocateSpace or xrLocateViews calls whose XrTime parameter is greater than or equal to the changeTime provided in that event.

When views, controllers or other spaces experience tracking loss relative to the LOCAL space, runtimes should continue to provide inferred or last-known position and orientation values. These inferred poses can, for example, be based on neck model updates, inertial dead reckoning, or a last-known position, so long as it is still reasonable for the application to use that pose. While a runtime is providing position data, it must continue to set XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT and XR_VIEW_STATE_POSITION_VALID_BIT but it can clear XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT and XR_VIEW_STATE_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT to indicate that the position is inferred or last-known in this way.

When tracking is recovered, runtimes should snap the pose of other spaces back into position relative to the LOCAL space’s original origin.
XR_REFERENCE_SPACE_TYPE_STAGE. The STAGE reference space is a runtime-defined flat, rectangular space that is empty and can be walked around on. The origin is on the floor at the center of the rectangle, with +Y up, and the X and Z axes aligned with the rectangle edges. The runtime may not be able to locate spaces relative to the STAGE reference space if the user has not yet defined one within the runtime-specific UI. Apps can use xrGetReferenceSpaceBoundsRect to determine the extents of the STAGE reference space’s XZ bounds rectangle, if defined.

STAGE space is useful when an app needs to render standing-scale content (no bounds) or room-scale content (with bounds) that is relative to the physical floor.

When the user redefines the origin or bounds of the current STAGE space, or the runtime otherwise switches to a new STAGE definition, the runtime must queue the XrEventDataReferenceSpaceChangePending event, with the new STAGE space origin only taking effect for xrLocateSpace or xrLocateViews calls whose XrTime parameter is greater than or equal to the changeTime provided in that event.

When views, controllers or other spaces experience tracking loss relative to the STAGE space, runtimes should continue to provide inferred or last-known position and orientation values. These inferred poses can, for example, be based on neck model updates, inertial dead reckoning, or a last-known position, so long as it is still reasonable for the application to use that pose. While a runtime is providing position data, it must continue to set XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT and XR_VIEW_STATE_POSITION_VALID_BIT but it can clear XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT and XR_VIEW_STATE_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT to indicate that the position is inferred or last-known in this way.

When tracking is recovered, runtimes should snap the pose of other spaces back into position relative to the STAGE space’s original origin.

XrSessionState(3)

XrSessionState - Session lifecycle state

C Specification

The XrSessionState enumerates the possible session lifecycle states:

typedef enum XrSessionState {
    XR_SESSION_STATE_UNKNOWN = 0,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_IDLE = 1,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_READY = 2,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_RUNNING = 3,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE = 4,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED = 5,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_STOPPING = 6,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_LOSS_PENDING = 7,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_EXITING = 8,
    XR_SESSION_STATE_MAX_ENUM = 0x7FFFFFFF
} XrSessionState;

Description

Enumerant Descriptions

XR_SESSION_STATE_UNKNOWN. An unknown state. The runtime must not return this value in an XrEventDataSessionStateChanged event.
XR_SESSION_STATE_IDLE. The initial state after calling xrCreateSession or returned to after calling xrEndSession.
XR_SESSION_STATE_READY. The application is ready to call xrBeginSession.
XR_SESSION_STATE_RUNNING. The application should run the xrWaitFrame/xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame loop.
XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE. The application should render everything except input avatars.
XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED. The application should render everything and process input.
XR_SESSION_STATE_STOPPING. The application should exit the render loop and call xrEndSession.
XR_SESSION_STATE_LOSS_PENDING. The session is in the process of being lost.
XR_SESSION_STATE_EXITING. The application should end its XR experience and not automatically restart it.

The XR_SESSION_STATE_UNKNOWN state must not be returned by the runtime, and is only defined to avoid 0 being a valid state.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_IDLE state indicates that the runtime considers the session is idle. Applications in this state should minimize resource consumption but continue to call xrPollEvent at some reasonable cadence.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_READY state indicates that the runtime desires the application to prepare rendering resources, call xrBeginSession, and start its rendering loop. The rendering loop should consist of some sequence of xrWaitFrame/xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame calls. An application should avoid heavy GPU work until reaching the XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE state to avoid contention with other applications which may still possibly be running.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_RUNNING state indicates that the runtime has detected the applications rendering loop and properly synchronized it with the display’s refresh cycle. Achieving synchronization prior to entering the XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE state facilitates switching between applications on a display frame boundary.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE state indicates that the session is visible. This can occur in many cases, one typical example is when a user switches from one OpenXR application to the current one. Applications that become visible should respond by simulating and submitting frames. Applications that lose visibility should stop submitting frames in order to give CPU and GPU precedence to any other applications that need it. This is a temporary event and usually indicates that either the user or the runtime process has determine the session should be placed on the back burner but may be brought back into visibility shortly.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED state indicates the application is able to receive user input. If a session is focused it receives all input from a user. On the other hand, if a session does not have focus, it may receive no user input. The runtime must guarantee that at most one application has input focus at any given time. An application may be visible but not have focus, for example when the runtime is composing a modal pop-up on top of the application’s rendered frames. It is important for apps to continue rendering when visible even when they do not have focus. Applications should only render input avatars (depictions of hands or other tracked objects controlled by the user) when in the XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED state. The runtime must not render input avatars when an application is focused.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_STOPPING state indicates that the runtime has determined that the application should halt its rendering loop. A possible reason for this would be to minimize contention between multiple applications. Applications should exit their rendering loop and call xrEndSession when in this state.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_EXITING state indicates the runtime wishes the application to terminate its XR experience, typically due to a user request via a runtime user interface. Applications should gracefully end their process when in this state.

Receiving the XR_SESSION_STATE_LOSS_PENDING state indicates the runtime is no longer able to operate with the current session, for example due to the loss of a display hardware connection. An application should call xrDestroySession and may end its process or decide to poll xrGetSystem at some reasonable cadence to get a new XrSystemId, and re-initialize all graphics resources related to the new system, and then create a new session using xrCreateSession. After the event is queued, subsequent calls to functions that accept XrSession parameters must no longer return any success code other than XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING for the given XrSession handle. The XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING success result is returned for an unspecified grace period of time, and the functions that return it simulate success in their behavior. If the runtime has no reasonable way to successfully complete a given function (e.g. xrCreateSwapchain) when a lost session is pending, or if the runtime is not able to provide the app a grace period, the runtime may return XR_ERROR_SESSION_LOST. Thereafter, functions which accept XrSession parameters for the lost session may return XR_ERROR_SESSION_LOST to indicate that the function failed and the given session was lost. The XrSession handle and child handles are henceforth unusable and should be destroyed by the application in order to immediately free up resources associated with those handles.

XR_VIEW_CONFIGURATION_TYPE_PRIMARY_MONO. One view representing the form factor’s one primary display. For example, an AR phone’s screen. This configuration requires one element in XrViewConfigurationProperties and one projection in each XrCompositionLayerProjection layer.
XR_VIEW_CONFIGURATION_TYPE_PRIMARY_STEREO. Two views representing the form factor’s two primary displays, which map to a left-eye and right-eye view. This configuration requires two views in XrViewConfigurationProperties and two views in each XrCompositionLayerProjection layer. View index 0 must represent the left eye and view index 1 must represent the right eye.

XrVisibilityMaskTypeKHR(3)

Name

XrVisibilityMaskTypeKHR - Visibility Mask Type

C Specification

XrVisibilityMaskTypeKHR identifies the different types of mask specification that is supported. The application may request a view mask in any of the formats identified by these types.

typedef enum XrVisibilityMaskTypeKHR {
    XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_HIDDEN_TRIANGLE_MESH_KHR = 1,
    XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_VISIBLE_TRIANGLE_MESH_KHR = 2,
    XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_LINE_LOOP_KHR = 3,
    XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_MAX_ENUM_KHR = 0x7FFFFFFF
} XrVisibilityMaskTypeKHR;

Description

Enumerant Descriptions

XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_HIDDEN_TRIANGLE_MESH_KHR refers to a two dimensional triangle mesh on the view surface which may not be drawn to by the application. XrVisibilityMaskKHR refers to a set of triangles identified by vertices and vertex indices. The index count will thus be a multiple of three. The triangle vertices will be returned in counter-clockwise order as viewed from the user perspective.
XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_VISIBLE_TRIANGLE_MESH_KHR refers to a two dimensional triangle mesh on the view surface which should be drawn to by the application. XrVisibilityMaskKHR refers to a set of triangles identified by vertices and vertex indices. The index count will thus be a multiple of three. The triangle vertices will be returned in counter-clockwise order as viewed from the user perspective.
XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_LINE_LOOP_KHR refers to a single multi-segmented line loop on the view surface which encompasses the view area which should be drawn by the application. It is the border that exists between the visible and hidden meshes identified by XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_HIDDEN_TRIANGLE_MESH_KHR and XR_VISIBILITY_MASK_TYPE_VISIBLE_TRIANGLE_MESH_KHR. The line is counter-clockwise, contiguous, and non-self crossing, with the last point implicitly connecting to the first point. There is one vertex per point, the index count will equal the vertex count, and the indices will refer to the vertices.

static const XrSpaceRelationFlags XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT = 0x00000080;

Description

where the flags have the following meaning:

Flag Descriptions

XR_SPACE_RELATION_ORIENTATION_VALID_BIT indicates that the pose field’s orientation field contains valid data. For space relations tracking a device with its own inertial tracking, XR_SPACE_RELATION_ORIENTATION_TRACKED_BIT should remain set when this bit is set.
XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_VALID_BIT indicates that the pose field’s position field contains valid data. When a space relation loses tracking, runtimes should continue to provide valid but untracked position values that are inferred or last-known, so long as it’s still meaningful for the application to use that position, clearing XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT until positional tracking is recovered.
XR_SPACE_RELATION_LINEAR_VELOCITY_VALID_BIT indicates that the linearVelocity field contains valid data.
XR_SPACE_RELATION_ANGULAR_VELOCITY_VALID_BIT indicates that the angularVelocity field contains valid data.
XR_SPACE_RELATION_LINEAR_ACCELERATION_VALID_BIT indicates that the linearAcceleration field contains valid data.
XR_SPACE_RELATION_ANGULAR_ACCELERATION_VALID_BIT indicates that the angularAcceleration field contains valid data.
XR_SPACE_RELATION_ORIENTATION_TRACKED_BIT indicates that the pose field’s orientation field represents an actively tracked orientation. For a space relation tracking a device with its own inertial tracking, this bit should remain set when XR_SPACE_RELATION_ORIENTATION_VALID_BIT is set. For a space relation tracking an object whose orientation is no longer known during tracking loss (e.g. an observed QR code), runtimes should continue to provide valid but untracked orientation values, so long as it’s still meaningful for the application to use that orientation.
XR_SPACE_RELATION_POSITION_TRACKED_BIT indicates that the pose field’s position field represents an actively tracked position. When a space relation loses tracking, runtimes should continue to provide valid but untracked position values that are inferred or last-known, e.g. based on neck model updates, inertial dead reckoning, or a last-known position, so long as it’s still meaningful for the application to use that position.

static const XrSwapchainCreateFlags XR_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_STATIC_IMAGE_BIT = 0x00000002;

Description

Flag Descriptions

XR_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_PROTECTED_CONTENT_BIT indicates that the swapchain’s images will be protected from CPU access, using a mechanism such as Vulkan protected memory.
XR_SWAPCHAIN_CREATE_STATIC_IMAGE_BIT indicates that the application will acquire and release only one image to this swapchain over its entire lifetime. When this flag is present, runtimes should allocate fewer images than for regular swapchains to reduce memory use.

A runtime may implement any of these, but is not required to.

XrSwapchainUsageFlags(3)

Name

XrSwapchainUsageFlags - Swapchain usage flags

C Specification

XrSwapchainUsageFlags Specify the intended usage of the swapchain images. When images are created, the runtime needs to know how the images are used in a way that requires more information than simply the image format. The XrSwapchainCreateInfo passed to xrCreateSwapchain should match the intended usage or else undefined behavior may result when the application works with the images.

Flags include:

XR_SWAPCHAIN_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT indicates that the image may be a color rendering target.
XR_SWAPCHAIN_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT indicates that the image may be a depth/stencil rendering target.
XR_SWAPCHAIN_USAGE_UNORDERED_ACCESS_BIT indicates that the image may be used as data source.
XR_SWAPCHAIN_USAGE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT indicates that the image may be the source of a copy operation.
XR_SWAPCHAIN_USAGE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT indicates that the image may be the destination of a copy operation.
XR_SWAPCHAIN_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT indicates that the image may sampled by a shader.

PFN_xrDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackEXT(3)

Name

PFN_xrDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackEXT - Type of callback function invoked by the debug utils

C Specification

typedef XrBool32 (XRAPI_PTR *PFN_xrDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackEXT)(
            XrDebugUtilsMessageSeverityFlagsEXT              messageSeverity,
            XrDebugUtilsMessageTypeFlagsEXT                  messageTypes,

            void*                                            userData);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

messageSeverity indicates the single bit value of XrDebugUtilsMessageSeverityFlagsEXT that triggered this callback.
messageTypes indicates the XrDebugUtilsMessageTypeFlagsEXT specifying which types of event triggered this callback.
callbackData contains all the callback related data in the XrDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackDataEXT structure.
userData is the user data provided when the XrDebugUtilsMessengerEXT was created.

Description

The callback must not call xrDestroyDebugUtilsMessengerEXT.

The callback returns an XrBool32 that indicates to the calling layer the application’s desire to abort the call. A value of XR_TRUE indicates that the application wants to abort this call. If the application returns XR_FALSE, the function must not be aborted. Applications should always return XR_FALSE so that they see the same behavior with and without validation layers enabled.

If the application returns XR_TRUE from its callback and the OpenXR call being aborted returns an XrResult, the layer will return XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE.

The object pointed to by callbackData (and any pointers in it recursively) must be valid during the lifetime of the triggered callback. It may become invalid afterwards.

XrPath(3)

Name

XrPath - A semantic path

C Specification

XR_DEFINE_ATOM(XrPath)

Description

The XrPath is an atom that connects an application with a single path, within the context of a single instance. There is a bijective mapping between well-formed path strings and atoms in use. This atom is used — in place of the path name string it corresponds to — to retrieve state and perform other operations.

As an XrPath is only shorthand for a well-formed path string, they have no explicit life cycle.

Lifetime is implicitly managed by the XrInstance. An XrPath must not be used unless it is received at execution time from the runtime in the context of a particular XrInstance. Therefore, with the exception of XR_NULL_PATH, XrPath values must not be specified as constant values in applications: the corresponding path string should be used instead. During the lifetime of a given XrInstance, the XrPath associated with that instance with any given well-formed path must not vary, and similarly the well-formed path string that corresponds to a given XrPath in that instance must not vary. An XrPath that is received from one XrInstance may not be used with another. Such an invalid use may be detected and result in an error being returned, or it may result in undefined behavior.

XrTime(3)

Name

XrTime - Basic type for time

C Specification

typedef int64_t XrTime;

Description

XrTime is a base value type to represent time, as a 64 bit integer. Unless specified otherwise, XrTime denotes a time-point relative to some runtime-determined constant epoch, rather than a duration, or a time-point with some moving epoch such as function call time, vsync time, etc.

Time may be represented by the runtime with a standardized epoch (e.g. 12:00:00 January 1, 1970 as of runtime start), or an arbitrary epoch may be used (e.g. time since runtime start). Time overflows after 2⁶⁴ nanoseconds have occurred since the epoch. A single runtime must use the same epoch for all simultaneous applications. Time must be represented the same regardless of multiple processors or threads present in the system.

The period precision of time reported by the runtime is runtime-dependent, and may change. One nanosecond is the finest possible period precision. A runtime may, for example, report time progression with only microsecond-level granularity.

Time must not be assumed to correspond to a system clock time.

XR_MAY_ALIAS(3)

Name

XR_MAY_ALIAS - Convenience macro to annotate types and pointers affirmatively known to alias

C Specification

#if !defined(XR_MAY_ALIAS)
#if defined(__clang__) || (defined(__GNUC__) && (__GNUC__ > 4))
#define XR_MAY_ALIAS __attribute__((__may_alias__))
#else
#define XR_MAY_ALIAS
#endif
#endif

Description

As a convenience, some types and pointers that are known at specification time to alias values of different types have been annotated with the XR_MAY_ALIAS definition. If this macro is not defined before including OpenXR headers, and a new enough Clang or GCC compiler is used, it will be defined to the compiler-specific attribute annotation to inform these compilers that those pointers may alias. However, there is no guarantee that all aliasing types or pointers have been correctly marked with this macro, so thorough testing is still recommended if you choose (at your own risk) to permit your compiler to perform type-based aliasing analysis.

See Type Aliasing for full discussion of pointer aliasing in OpenXR.
