Summary: | Conventionally, applications are updated to the current version and the previous version is removed, eliminating backward compatibility. The disclosed technology provides XR runtimes that can dynamically execute a runtime version due to the runtimes being executed as a collection of selectable data bundles. Thus, implementations can ship multiple versions of an XR runtime to allow old versions of the XR runtime to remain when updates occur. Implementations can maintain backward compatibility and allow old experiences to run in an application. Implementations can access metadata associated with an experience to determine what runtime version (or set of runtime versions) under which the experience can execute, and can dynamically run the latest runtime version that can support that experience. When multiple users in a group are joining an experience, implementations can select and run a common server-supported runtime and push any necessary data bundles for the experience to the client devices. |
