Owlchemy Labs Announces Android XR Support for Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator

By utilizing the latest OpenXR standard, Android XR enables easier porting of features such as Device, Hand, Eye, and Face Tracking, along with AR plane detection and anchors, empowering developers to more easily port their apps while maintaining the same high level of functionality and user experience that their players expect. Through their partnership with Unity to deliver a Unity package, developers are able to port and build new experiences using the standards they are familiar with.

Google owns @owlchemylabs.com, and so it's not a huge surprise that they're working on implementing Android XR Support for Job Simulator & Vacation Simulator via Unity integrations. Interesting comment about #OpenXR @openxr.bsky.social in their blog announcement: owlchemylabs.com/blog/owlchem...

yes, we will be doing this soon!
