About ExplorXR

ExplorXR is a blog about the bleeding edge of Extended Reality (XR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Computer Graphics.

From real-time rendering techniques and shader programming to spatial computing platforms like Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and beyond — this is where we break down the tech that powers immersive experiences.

Topics we cover

• Real-time rendering — deferred shading, PBR, ray tracing, global illumination
• Shader programming — GLSL, HLSL, compute shaders, material authoring
• XR platforms — Vision Pro, Quest 3, Magic Leap, HoloLens
• Graphics APIs — Vulkan, Metal, WebGPU, OpenGL
• Game engines — Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, custom engines
• Spatial computing — hand tracking, passthrough, world meshing, UX design
• AI + Graphics — NeRF, Gaussian Splatting, diffusion-based 3D, DLSS/FSR
