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. -

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. -

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. -

Crazy Eddies GUI System (CEGUI)
A fast, powerful and adaptable GUI solution
Crazy Eddie's GUI (CEGUI) system is a graphical user interface C++ library. It was designed particularly for the needs of videogames, but the library is usable for non-game tasks, such as any other type of applications (rendering/visualisation/virtual reality) and tools. It is designed for user flexibility in look-and-feel, as well as being adaptable to the user's choice in tools and operating systems. Established in 2003, CEGUI sees continual, active development and remains one of the most powerful and most popular options for developers requiring an adaptable and efficient GUI solution. CEGUI is fully supported by the developers that created - and continue to develop - the library, and who are accessible via the project's dedicated internet forums and IRC channel. For more information, more screenshots and for news, check out out our homepage: http://cegui.org.uk The repository is now at bitbucket (including our issue/bug tracker): https://bitbucket.org/cegui -

Bullet
JVM Bullet Physics SDK
Bullet is real-time collision detection and multi-physics simulation for VR, games, visual effects, robotics, machine learning etc. Jvm port of Bullet, by Erwin Coumans. Take a look at the tests to see what has been ported and tested to be working. A high-end desktop GPU, such as an AMD Radeon 7970 or NVIDIA GTX 680 or better. We succesfully tested the software under Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. The software currently doesn't work on OpenCL CPU devices. It might run on a laptop GPU but performance will not likely be very good. Note that often an OpenCL drivers fails to compile a kernel. Some unit tests exist to track down the issue, but more work is required to cover all OpenCL kernels. -

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. -

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). -

Digitial Diceworks Locomotion System
A way of moving around in virtual space that uses initial motions
Digital Diceworks Locomotion System (DDLS) is an innovative movement system designed for use within Virtual Reality (VR) environments. It was designed to meet the need for a better way explore virtual worlds while reducing discomfort but still maintaining the immersive experience. DDLS is based on the observations of natural movement in the real world, simplfied for ease of use but robust enough to give you the freedom to perform fantastic feats. We took those observations and noticed something very important to creating our locomotion system, the motions users would initial make. When you start walking in the real world, you start by taking small step, if you were going to start running you were to start with a bigger step. The difference in these “initial motions” is the distance at which you moved from where you started, your origin. This is the core concept of the DDLS.
