Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Develop with the Android XR SDK

Simplified development
Most Android apps are compatible with XR headsets and wired XR glasses
Existing 2D mobile or large-screen apps work by default in Android XR for XR headsets and wired XR glasses—displayed as a 2D panel inside 3D space. Use familiar Android APIs, frameworks, and tools—like Jetpack Compose for XR, Android Studio, the emulator, and your preferred 3D tools.
Easy on-ramp to bring apps to XR headsets and wired XR glasses
XR-compatible mobile app
Reach users on XR headsets and wired XR glasses devices with your existing compatible mobile apps. No changes required.
XR-compatible large screen app
Adaptive layouts ensure your app works across devices. Existing large screen apps are optimized for XR headsets and wired XR glasses. No changes required.
XR-differentiated app
Take advantage of spatial panels, 3D models, and spatial environments to design an immersive experience for XR headsets and wired XR glasses. Or use Unity, OpenXR, Godot, Unreal Engine, or WebXR to build a fully-customized, immersive experience for these types of XR devices.
