Although OpenVR is the default SDK for HTC Vive, it was developed to have multiple vendor support.[5] For instance, a developer can design OpenVR-based trigger button functions for controllers of Oculus Rift or Windows MR because these systems are both supported by the SDK.[8]
Valve has announced that they will be cooperating with the Open Source Virtual Reality project,[9] although the extent of the cooperation is unclear.[10]
