= VR Support through OpenXR - TODO's This task is to list open ToDo's for the //Core Support of Virtual Reality Headsets through OpenXR// GSoC project. Most of the items here should be tackled as part of the GSoC coding period. New features to be added are __not__ listed here. == Rendering * [x] Dark VR session rendering on Windows Mixed Reality runtime (rB5350015d51) * [x] Lighting changes with head movements (rB091cc94379) * [x] Head position seems to move upon rolling view (rBfc31be5ab0) * [x] OpenGL support is not done (rB3a4034a741) * [] OpenGL swap call seems to hurt perfomance quite a bit? (@LazyDodo reports, didn't check myself) * [] Use a separate thread VR rendering. OpenXR blocks threads for frame rate synchronization, which probably makes other rendering lag a bit. This way we can also keep a single OpenGL context alive on this thread, which avoids expensive context switches. * [] Idea: Allow //Lock Interface// to increase performance during the VR session? How to end it then? == General Stability * [x] Memory leak (rB55362436d9) * [] Monado OpenXR runtime crashes at swapchain creation (`VK_ERROR_DEVICE_OUT_OF_MEMORY`) == Build System * [] Automatically set environment variables required to find API-layers * [] More generic CMake variables (e.g. autodetect OpenXR version) * [] Pre-master-merge: Remove bundled OpenXR sources support == Miscellaneous * [] Remove support for non-OpenGL windows? Useful for testing, but unused by now
