Getting a compatible OpenXR runtime
Chrome uses OpenXR to interface with VR headsets on Windows.
In order to work with Chrome the device's OpenXR runtime must support the XR_EXT_win32_appcontainer_compatible extension,
which ensures that the runtime can work securely with Chrome's sandboxing.
See below to learn more about enabling OpenXR support for several popular devices.
Windows Mixed Reality
A compatible OpenXR runtime for Windows Mixed Reality ships with the
Windows 10 May 2019 Update (1903) or later.
SteamVR (HTC Vive, Valve Index, etc)
A compatible OpenXR runtime for SteamVR ships with SteamVR 1.16.8 or later.
Oculus (Rift/Rift S/Quest via Oculus Link)
A compatible OpenXR runtime for Oculus ships with v19 or later.
Unsandboxed OpenXR
To test Chrome with OpenXR runtimes that do not implement the XR_EXT_win32_appcontainer_compatible extension, WebXR sandboxing must be disabled.
It is not recommended that you use Chrome with the following flags for daily browsing, as it disables certain security measures around Chrome interaction with VR hardware!
To disable Chrome's WebXR sandboxing, use the following command line option:
--disable-features=XRSandbox
