Monado Open-Source OpenXR Implementation Seeing Driver Work On PSVR, OSVR, Razer Hydra

Monado as an open-source implementation of the Khronos OpenXR standard for AR/VR devices continues taking form though isn't quite ready yet for end-users.

Monado was announced earlier this year as an open-source OpenXR implementation that would support VR/AR devices handled by OpenHMD. Given the release of OpenXR 1.0 this past week during SIGGRAPH, consulting firm Collabora who has been working on Monado provided a status update on the effort.

Monado continues to be updated to work against the OpenXR 1.0 standard, improving its state tracker, and working on different hardware drivers as well as a V4L frame-server driver. Some of the new driver work happening is for the PlayStation PSVR HMD driver, PS Move Controller driver, OSVR HDK driver, and the Razer Hydra controller driver.
