Washington, D.C. – In 2019, the XR Association released Chapter 1 of the Developers Guide, titled “Fundamental Design Principles for Immersive Experiences.” This guide quickly became an essential resource for developers entering the world of extended reality (XR), offering foundational insights into creating compelling and effective immersive experiences. However, in the five years since its publication, the XR industry has undergone rapid and transformative growth, necessitating a fresh look at the principles laid out in this initial chapter.
Revision of Chapter 1 of the Developer’s Guide has been driven by collaboration with member companies, who have provided invaluable input on emerging best practices, new technologies, and the evolving landscape of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR). The revised Chapter 1 is slated for release in Q4 2024, promising to offer developers updated guidance that reflects the current state of the industry.
Developers can expect detailed guidance on topics such as user interface design, interaction models, and best practices for designing immersive environments. Additionally, the guide will offer practical tips for leveraging the unique capabilities of AR and MR to create experiences that are both engaging and effective.
As the XR industry continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, staying informed about the latest developments is essential for developers who want to remain competitive. The revised Developer’s Guide will be an invaluable resource, helping developers navigate the complexities of this rapidly evolving field and empowering them to create cutting-edge immersive experiences that resonate with users.
Stay tuned for the release of the updated guide in Q4 2024 and join the XRA in embracing the future of immersive technology.
