Acer is enhancing its support for developers utilizing its SpatialLabs technology by introducing a suite of tools that enable the creation of glasses-free, stereoscopic 3D experiences on Acer SpatialLabs Pro devices. With the new developer tools, including the SpatialLabs Unity plug-in, Acer OpenXR runtime, and Acer SteamVR Bridge, developers from various industries can easily create stereo 3D content and applications for Acer’s SpatialLabs Pro devices.
Pro Suite Developer Program: Unity Plug-in
Acer has launched its support for the Unity plug-in, expanding its capabilities to creators across a wide range of fields, including education, architecture, construction, and medicine, among others. With the Unity plug-in, professional developers can leverage the existing tools and verticals offered by Unity to enhance their stereo 3D experiences and showcase their models in true 3D form on Acer SpatialLabs Pro devices, without the need for specialized glasses. This development opens up new possibilities for creating immersive and engaging content across various industries.
Acer OpenXR Runtime
Acer’s OpenXR runtime for SpatialLabs has achieved conformance, certifying that SpatialLabs Pro devices conform to the OpenXR standard. As a long-standing member and contributor of the Khronos OpenXR working group, Acer is committed to embracing open standards and building an accessible ecosystem for its hardware solutions. This achievement benefits the extended reality (XR) developer community, providing additional device choices to showcase their creations with high-resolution, glasses-free stereoscopic 3D. The OpenXR runtime offers a cross-platform, high-performance API, enabling faster innovation and leveraging Acer’s expertise in delivering immersive, stereoscopic 3D visuals through its SpatialLabs solution. Users of Acer SpatialLabs Pro devices can now take advantage of OpenXR-compatible applications such as Autodesk VRED and Blender.
Acer SteamVR Bridge
Acer’s proprietary SteamVR Bridge driver enables developers of VR applications to convert their creations on Acer’s SpatialLabs Pro devices, providing captivating imagery and clarity to users without the need for VR headsets. This allows developers to deliver immersive experiences, such as virtual tours, art exhibits, and educational content, with enhanced stereo 3D projection. Users of SpatialLabs Pro devices can also leverage the Acer SteamVR Bridge in conjunction with NVIDIA Omniverse™ to streamline workflows and expand their viewing options for enhanced stereo 3D projection of complex graphics, visual effects, and simulations.
With the introduction of the SpatialLabs Unity plug-in, Acer OpenXR runtime, and Acer SteamVR Bridge, Acer is providing developers with the necessary tools to create cutting-edge stereoscopic 3D experiences on Acer SpatialLabs Pro devices. By leveraging these tools, developers can unlock the full potential of Acer’s SpatialLabs technology and deliver immersive, glasses-free 3D content and applications across various industries.
