OpenXR adds spatial containers for cross-platform XR multitasking

The Khronos Group has ratified and published OpenXR extensions introducing "spatial containers" — system-managed spaces where apps display XR content and switch between bounded and immersive modes. Implementations are expected across the OpenXR ecosystem in 2026; Apple, which uses its own visionOS APIs, is not part of it.

• Extensions ratified and published, rollout expected in 2026
• Apps can switch between bounded and immersive modes
• Quest currently runs only one spatial app at a time
• Apple Vision Pro uses its own APIs and is not in OpenXR
