ALVR - Air Light VR
Stream VR games from your PC to your headset via Wi-Fi
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. ALVR supports low-latency streaming through optimized encoding techniques and network configurations, making it suitable for interactive VR experiences. It also includes customizable settings for bitrate, resolution, and performance tuning, allowing users to balance quality and responsiveness. The project is actively developed and supports multiple platforms, including Windows and Linux. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

JuMarker
Creation and Detection of Customized Fiducial Markers
Fiducial markers such as QR codes, ArUco, and AprilTag have become very popular tools for labeling and camera positioning. They are robust and easy to detect, even in devices with low computing power. However, their industrial appearance deters their use in scenarios where an attractive and visually appealing look is required. In these cases, it would be preferable to use customized markers showing, for instance, a company logo. This work proposes a novel method to design, detect, and track customizable fiducial markers. Our work allows creating markers templates imposing few restrictions on its design, e.g., a company logo or a picture can be used. The designer must indicate positions into the template where bits will encode a unique identifier for each marker. Then, our method will automatically create a dictionary of markers, all following the same design, but each with a unique identifier. -

A-Frame Low Poly
Low poly add-ons for aframe virtual reality
Low poly add-ons for a-frame virtual reality models. Take any existing a-frame primitive, such as a-sphere and replace the prefix to obtain a low-poly version, such as lp-sphere. Every low-poly object supports the following attributes. Modify the attributes just like you would any other AFrame VR attribute. Specify curvature of the surface. Function that accepts the vertex’s original position and outputs the vertex’s new position. This is applied before customizable randomization. All random perturbations are applied to the vertex’s new position. Duplicate entire entities without repeating common HTML. For example, say you have a template tree and many trees in your environment. Simply create one tree, and use the clone attribute for the rest, changing the position and rotating as necessary. This keeps your code streamlined and eases development (e.g., changing tree trunks for all cloned trees involves a single-line change). -
