Varjo Native SDK

Note: you are currently viewing documentation for a beta or an older version of Varjo

Varjo Native SDK is a collection of libraries and a C/C++ API used to enable the functionality of Varjo headsets. The SDK is compatible with 64-bit Windows, DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and OpenGL. More platforms and graphics APIs are under development.

This section will show you how to use the Varjo SDK to build your own applications for Varjo headsets. You can download the automatically generated Varjo SDK for Custom Engines from the Downloads page.

The API documentation and example projects can be found online or in the SDK package.
