Xiaomi Corporation was founded in April 2010. Xiaomi is a consumer electronics and smart manufacturing company with smartphones and smart hardware connected by an IoT platform at its core. Embracing their vision of “Make friends with users and be the coolest company in the users’ hearts”, Xiaomi continuously pursues innovations, high-quality user experience and operational efficiency. The company relentlessly builds amazing products with honest prices to let everyone in the world enjoy a better life through innovative technology.

Xiaomi is one of the world’s leading smartphone companies. In September 2024, the MAU reached approximately 685.8 million globally. The company has also established the world’s leading consumer AIoT (AI+IoT) platform, reaching approximately 861.4 million smart devices connected to its platform (excluding smartphones, laptops and tablets) as of September 30, 2024. In October 2023, Xiaomi upgraded its strategy to “Human × Car × Home” smart ecosystem, seamlessly merges personal devices, smart home products, and cars. Xiaomi always centers on humanity and is committed to providing comprehensive, better-connected experiences. Xiaomi products are present in more than 100 countries and regions around the world.

The OpenXR Conformance Test Suite is freely available as open source, so any implementer can use it to test and improve an implementation. Joining the OpenXR Adopter Program gives an organization the right to submit test results for review by the OpenXR Working Group, and if the results meet the required criteria and are approved, the implementation can be promoted as officially OpenXR conformant.

To make official conformance accessible to smaller organizations, Khronos is introducing tiered OpenXR Adopter subscription and renewal fees based on company size. The goal is straightforward: expand the ecosystem of officially conformant OpenXR implementations, giving developers a broader and more dependable range of compatible products.

Khronos is excited to release the 2026 Real-Time Shading Ecosystem Survey Report, a summary of insights from over 400 shader developers, graphics programmers, rendering engineers, and tools creators. Conducted between June 16 and July 10, 2026, the survey captures a clear picture of how the real-time shading community works today — and where standardization efforts can deliver the greatest impact.

The Khronos Group today announced that the KHR_interactivity extension for glTF 2.0 has been submitted for ratification. As interactive 3D content becomes central to a growing range of markets, KHR_interactivity lets creators build portable, self-contained interactive behaviors — expressed as behavior graphs — into the glTF asset itself, eliminating the need to hard-code interactivity for every platform and application. The extension is the result of substantial collaboration across the 3D content ecosystem, with support already established in multiple tools and runtimes.

The Khronos Group today announced dates and venue for two co-located events in Kortrijk, Belgium: Vulkanised 2027 (February 8–10) and the Real-Time Shading Symposium 2027 (February 11–12). Both events will be hosted at Howest University of Applied Sciences' The Penta facility, with Howest serving as venue sponsor.

For years, 3D artists and technical directors working in Autodesk 3ds Max have juggled third-party tools and custom scripts to bring glTF assets into their pipelines. Today, that friction disappears.

The Khronos Group has sponsored the glTF 2.0 Importer/Exporter for Autodesk 3ds Max open-source project under the Apache 2.0 license, and today has released the resulting glTF importer and exporter plugins, built to professional standards in collaboration with the community, and free for all to use.
