ALVR OpenXR Raspberry PI

[raeldor]

Hi. I'm interested in building a homebrew VR headset. Is it possible to run ALVR on a Raspberry PI 4 running Android (or any other OS) using OpenXR? Thanks.

ALVR currently does not support OpenXR. I'm working on the necessary changes to support OpenXR but it will be a while until support is completed. That being said, there is a fork of ALVR that implements OpenXR support. Make sure the Raspberry Pi 4 supports MediaCodec hardware acceleration for h264.

I appreciate the link, thank you. Will you be working on your implementation separately, or merging the fork? Thanks!

That fork is working separately and will not be merged into the main repository. There is already an implementation in progress in this repository but it still requires quite a bit of work to make it functional.
