### Description

This extension has the same goal as the OpenGL ES `GL_OVR_multiview` extension - it enables rendering to multiple “views” by recording a single set of commands to be executed with slightly different behavior for each view. It includes a concise way to declare a render pass with multiple views, and gives implementations freedom to render the views in the most efficient way possible.

### Promotion to Vulkan 1.1

All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.1, with the KHR suffix omitted. The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

### New Structures

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, VkDeviceCreateInfo:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceMultiviewFeaturesKHR

- Extending VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2:

  - VkPhysicalDeviceMultiviewPropertiesKHR

- Extending VkRenderPassCreateInfo:

  - VkRenderPassMultiviewCreateInfoKHR

### New Enum Constants

- `VK_KHR_MULTIVIEW_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_KHR_MULTIVIEW_SPEC_VERSION`

- Extending VkDependencyFlagBits:

  - `VK_DEPENDENCY_VIEW_LOCAL_BIT_KHR`

- Extending VkStructureType:

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_MULTIVIEW_FEATURES_KHR`

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_MULTIVIEW_PROPERTIES_KHR`

  - `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_RENDER_PASS_MULTIVIEW_CREATE_INFO_KHR`

### New Built-In Variables

- `ViewIndex`

### New SPIR-V Capabilities

- `MultiView`

### Version History

- Revision 1, 2016-10-28 (Jeff Bolz)
