OpenXR – Cross-Platform, Portable, Virtual Reality

So I don't code, but I have an Electrical Engineering background and a passionate interest in Technology and VR. How can I get involved with this?

"How can I get involved with this?"

I think you need to first specify your intent. Just jumping in because the technology seems cool leaves you short of value adding goals. Where do you want to be if/when VR actually is commoditized mainstream? From point of view of creating things I think there are three categories here

a. creating VR content (content or programs)

b. creating VR hardware and drivers

c. creating VR middleware (game engines, etc)

Learn the basics of coding - CodeAcademy JavaScript to Unity (major VR support there) I'd recommend.

Why go with an inferior language when you could use C# or C++ instead?

Like JS is well and good for web things but no reason to shove things where they don't belong.

Just note, Unityscript is not Javascript.
