ALVR (Air Light VR) is an open-source system that enables wireless virtual reality streaming by transmitting VR content from a PC to a standalone headset over a network connection. It allows users to run PC-based VR applications while using devices such as standalone headsets, effectively bridging the gap between high-performance desktop VR and portable hardware. The system works by encoding video output from the PC, streaming it over Wi-Fi, and decoding it on the headset in real time, while also transmitting input data such as head tracking and controller movements back to the PC.

v86 is an open-source x86 PC emulator that runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly for near-native performance. It translates x86 machine code into WebAssembly at runtime, enabling users to boot and run full operating systems without installing anything locally. The emulator supports a wide range of legacy systems, including Linux, Windows 95/98/2000, FreeDOS, and various experimental OSes.

This is an exercise in some advance programming topics using a text adventure as the central result. This originally began as a project to recreate an old BASIC text adventure, on the ZX Spectrum, using Z80. After developing a very simple byte code VM to handle the game interactions, I realised that there was an opportunity to use some more advance techniques, which in turn can lead to some PC based tools.
