This tutorial will teach you how to use the OpenXR API. OpenXR is an API managed by the Khronos Group which provides a cross-platform way for applications to interact with immersive devices. This includes virtual reality (VR) headsets, augmented reality (AR) devices, motion controllers and more.
Eight years after launching the Vulkan database to the public, it’s approaching 30,000 uploaded reports from more than 3,300 different devices across Windows, Linux, Android, MacOS and iOS. With that much data available, good filtering capabilities are crucial.

Many thumbnail programs exist that will take a large image and reduce it to a thumbnail for you, often supporting working in batches. But what about turning user-uploaded images into thumbnails? Obviously, you don’t want to simply send a large image to the browser and have HTML resize it, because the quality wouldn’t be...
