Acer today announced the arrival of new development tools for its cutting-edge SpatialLabs™ technology, offering more possibilities for developing glasses-free stereoscopic 3D experiences with Acer’s SpatialLabs Pro solutions. With support for the new Unity plug-in, developers from a variety of industries and professions can use SpatialLabs Pro products to create stereo 3D content and applications. Acer’s OpenXR runtime for SpatialLabs has been certified, enabling developers to use OpenXR protocols when creating 3D stereo content and applications on SpatialLabs displays. The Acer SteamVR Bridge unlocks the potential of stereo 3D for VR application developers to deliver enhanced immersive experiences when using SpatialLabs Pro devices.Pro Suite program for developers: Unity plug-in Acer has launched support for the Unity plug-in, extending its reach to more creators in a variety of fields, including education, architecture, construction, medicine and more, in conjunction with the Unreal plug-in. As a widely used platform for creating stereo 3D content and applications, professional developers can leverage the existing tools of the Unity plug-in to enhance their experience and present their models directly in 3D on Acer SpatialLabs Pro Devices, without the need for special glasses. |
Acer OpenXR Runtime Acer has successfully achieved OpenXR Runtime compliance, making SpatialLabs Pro products OpenXR compliant. As a long-standing member and contributor to the Khronos OpenXR working group, Acer embraces open standards and is committed to building an accessible ecosystem for its hardware solutions. This latest innovation from Acer benefits the extended reality (XR) developer community by unlocking additional device choices to showcase their creations in high-resolution and stereoscopic 3D without glasses. Content and application creators can take advantage of the synergy with OpenXR’s cross-platform, high-performance API to accelerate innovation, and also leverage Acer’s extensive experience in producing immersive and stereoscopic 3D visuals through its SpatialLabs solution. The OpenXR runtime is also available to Acer SpatialLabs Pro users, enabling them to use OpenXR-compatible applications such as Autodesk VRED and Blender. |
Acer SteamVR Bridge With the availability of Acer’s proprietary SteamVR Bridge driver, developers of VR applications, such as virtual tours, art exhibitions and educational content, can convert their creations on Acer’s SpatialLabs Pro products to deliver a clear, captivating image to users, without the need for VR headsets. SpatialLabs Pro users can also leverage the Acer SteamVR Bridge solution with NVIDIA Omniverse™ to streamline workflows and expand their visualization options for enhanced stereo 3D projection of complex graphics, visual effects and simulations. Visit the SpatialLabs Developer site for more information on the latest updates, and discover SpatialLabs Pro solutions for yourself when they are presented at COMPUTEX from May 30 to June 2, 2023 on stand no. M0820, 4F, Hall 1, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Taiwan. |
