ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

OpenXR

OpenXR is a tool for making it easier to create virtual reality and augmented reality experiences. Imagine you are playing a game where you wear a special helmet that makes you feel like you are inside the game. That is a virtual reality experience. OpenXR makes it possible for different companies to create virtual and augmented reality experiences that work together, instead of each company having their own separate system that doesn't work with others.

Think of it like a big LEGO set. Each company can build their own piece of the LEGO set that they are really good at, and OpenXR makes sure that all of the different pieces fit together perfectly. This way, you can enjoy all kinds of different virtual and augmented reality experiences, no matter what company made them.
