OpenXR is a working group managed by the Khronos Group consortium with the aim to design a standard for Virtual reality and Augmented reality. OpenXR was announced by the Khronos Group on February 27 2017 during the GDC 2017.[1][2][3][4]
Architecture
The standard will comprise two parts:[2]
- An API aimed for the application developers
- A Device Layer, aimed for the Virtual reality or Augmented reality hardware, presenting an abstraction interface with the device itself
Roadmap
Currently (as of March 2017), the Khronos Group has a tentative first release of the API for mid-2018.[5]

With regard to their OpenXR effort for an industry standard VR, we won't see the fruit of this work until next year. Currently, the tentative target appears to be for holiday 2018 but we may see some companies showing off efforts earlier in the calendar year
