In a recent announcement, Acer unveiled a range of innovative developer tools designed to support the creation of captivating stereoscopic 3D experiences on Acer SpatialLabs Pro devices. These cutting-edge tools include the SpatialLabs Unity plug-in, Acer OpenXR runtime, and Acer SteamVR Bridge, offering developers seamless integration and enhanced portability for stereo 3D and Extended Reality (XR) content and applications.
Acer SpatialLabs
Unity Plug-in for Professional Creativity
With the introduction of Unity plug-in support, Acer aims to expand its reach to creators in various industries, such as education, architecture, construction, and medicine, among others. By leveraging the widely used Unity platform, professional developers can now enhance their experiences and showcase their models in true 3D form on Acer SpatialLabs Pro devices, without the need for specialized glasses. This breakthrough eliminates barriers and opens up exciting possibilities for immersive content creation.
Acer OpenXR Runtime for Enhanced Accessibility
Acer has also achieved a significant milestone with its OpenXR runtime, securing conformance for SpatialLabs Pro devices. As a committed member and contributor to the Khronos OpenXR working group, Acer’s dedication to open standards is evident. This achievement unlocks additional device choices for the extended reality (XR) developer community, providing them with high-resolution, glasses-free stereoscopic 3D capabilities. With the power of OpenXR’s cross-platform, high-performance API and Acer’s expertise in delivering immersive visuals, content and application creators can innovate faster and push the boundaries of their creations.
Acer SteamVR Bridge Unleashes VR Potential
Moreover, Acer introduces the Acer SteamVR Bridge, a proprietary driver that further enhances the immersive experiences on SpatialLabs Pro devices. This bridge empowers VR application developers to bring their creations to life without the need for VR headsets. From virtual tours to art exhibits and educational content, developers can now deliver captivating imagery and clarity directly to users. Additionally, users of Acer’s SpatialLabs Pro devices can leverage the Acer SteamVR Bridge alongside NVIDIA Omniverse, streamlining workflows and expanding their viewing options for enhanced stereo 3D projection of complex graphics, visual effects, and simulations.
To experience these groundbreaking advancements firsthand, visitors can explore Acer’s SpatialLabs Pro devices at COMPUTEX, taking place from May 30 to June 2, 2023, at Booth no. M0820, 4F, Hall 1, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan.
Acer’s commitment to empowering developers with innovative tools reflects their dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology. With the SpatialLabs Unity plug-in, Acer OpenXR runtime, and Acer SteamVR Bridge, the future of stereoscopic 3D experiences is within reach, opening up new possibilities for immersive content creation across a wide range of industries.
