AviTab
X-Plane plugin that displays a tablet to aid VR usage
AviTab is a plugin for the X-Plane flight simulator. It displays a tablet-like computer with a few apps in the cockpit. It is mainly used for flying in virtual reality. When flying in a simulator, one often needs to look up details in PDF charts, plane manuals, checklists or other documents. Using a PDF reader breaks the immersion because the virtual aviator either has to take off of their HMD or use other tools that can move windows into VR. AviTab tries to solve this problem by offering a PDF reader inside a native plugin for X-Plane. Using a plugin also opens possibilities for more apps inside the tablet, for example, to display information about the plane status or aid in navigation. When hovering over the edges of the tablet from a short distance, X-Plane will display green bars around the tablet. The upper bar can be used to grab the window and move it around inside the cockpit. -

Radegast
Lightweight client for connecting to Second Life and OpenSim
Radegast is a virtual world client compatible with Second Life and OpenSimulator. Its main purpose is to provide an alternative client to Linden Lab-derived virtual world viewers. There is a strong focus on accessibility and non-3D interaction. Given the current nature of changes in Second Life, I felt it was prudent to take on another abandoned text-focused viewer. Introducing MEGAbolt, a fork of the METAbolt viewer which was abandoned by its author almost eight years ago. Keep in mind, this is the first version and much has changed under the hood. It has been brought up to date and only supports Windows x64 currently and is built against the .NET 5 platform. Like Radegast, it utilizes the LibreMetaverse library and now shares much of the same code as Radegast does, which should make maintaining both viewers more manageable. -

OpenVR SDK
API and runtime that allows access to VR hardware
OpenVR is an API and runtime that allows access to VR hardware from multiple vendors without requiring that applications have specific knowledge of the hardware they are targeting. This repository is an SDK that contains the API and samples. The runtime is under SteamVR in Tools on Steam. The OpenVR API provides a game with a way to interact with Virtual Reality displays without relying on a specific hardware vendor's SDK. It can be updated independently of the game to add support for new hardware or software updates. This means that you can access the position of the headset using only one API call and it works for all headset brands (Oculus, Mixed Reality, Vive, etc)! The API is implemented as a set of C++ interface classes full of pure virtual functions. When an application initializes the system it will return the interface that matches the header in the SDK used by that application. -

OpenXR SDK
Generated headers and sources for OpenXR loader
OpenXR is a royalty-free, open standard that provides high-performance access to Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), collectively known as XR, platforms and devices. This repository contains OpenXR headers, as well as source code and build scripts for the OpenXR loader. It contains all generated source files and headers pre-generated for minimum dependencies. The OpenXR 1.0 specification is free for anyone to download, review and comment. Without a cross-platform standard, VR and AR applications and engines must use each platform’s proprietary APIs. New input devices need customized driver integration. OpenXR provides cross-platform, high-performance access directly into diverse XR device runtimes across multiple platforms. OpenXR enables applications and engines, including WebXR, to run on any system that exposes the OpenXR APIs. -

HadesVR
The "DIY" SteamVR compatible VR setup made for tinkerers
HadesVR is a SteamVR compatible VR setup made for tinkerers. The setup includes DIY controllers that are capable of emulating HTC vive wands or most aspects of the Valve Index Knuckles controllers (including finger tracking!). It also includes tracking electronics for a Headset, including an integrated wireless receiver to receive the controllers' data. There's also custom controller hardware like 3d printable shells (still a bit of a WIP) with their respective custom PCBs to build your own Knuckles controllers. The SteamVR driver used to be based on TrueOpenVR but it's modified so heavily I'm making it its own thing. This driver also uses PSMoveService (for now at least) for the positional tracking of HMD and controllers, using ping pong balls and different colors of LED's. The headset connects to the PC and receives rotation and button data from both controllers through RF, while the tracking is done outside-in (base stations) using Playstation Move Cameras and PSMoveService. -

Relativty
An open source VR headset with SteamVR supports for $200
Relativty is not a consumer product. We made Relativty in my bedroom with a soldering iron and a 3D printer and we expect you to do the same, build it yourself. We started Relativty because after watching Sword Art Online we wanted to make our own VR games. Thus Relativty supports SteamVR games and can be modified to add support for any DIY or off-the-shelf VR device. The room-scaling AI can be used with any camera, it tracks your body based on video input. Precision and freedom of movement are still very far from dedicated sensors, however, we believe that the model can be trained and improved by orders of magnitude. We designed an affordable motherboard that runs the Relativty Firmware, it is based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 processor and uses an MPU-6050 as it’s IMU. The naked PCB and the components to solder on, cost in total about 25 dollars. -
