Developers - mbucchia/VirtualDesktop-OpenXR GitHub Wiki
VirtualDesktopXR can be used to develop OpenXR applications without going through SteamVR.
VirtualDesktopXR is not an officially conformant runtime. It cannot be called "conformant" nor use the OpenXR trademark and logo. It does pass the majority of Khronos OpenXR Conformance Test Suite. While the developer of VirtualDesktopXR wishes to claim official conformance, the Khronos group requires an adopter fee of $30,000 for the conformance submission, which is not affordable for the development team.

[1] XrCompositionLayerQuad::eyeVisibility is ignored and assumed to be XR_EYE_VISIBILITY_BOTH.
[2] When using XR_KHR_vulkan_enable, care must be taken by the application to enable timeline semaphores (append a VkPhysicalDeviceTimelineSemaphoreFeatures struct to the call to vkCreateDevice()).
[3] Oculus Touch controller is supported. Additional capabilities of the Oculus Touch Pro controller are not supported. Additional haptics capabilities such as buffered haptics are not supported.
[4] Vive Trackers are emulated using body joints location.
