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. -

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. -

OpenXR Conformance Test Suite
Conformance test suite for OpenXR
OpenXR Conformance Test Suite is a collection of tests covering the breadth of the OpenXR API. Some tests have been grouped by tags depending on the involvement of the tester/invoker (e.g. [interactive]) and the area of the test (e.g. [composition] and [actions]). Interactive tests for validating layer composition must run for all graphics APIs supported by the runtime and action tests must run for all interaction profiles supported by the runtime. For this reason, the suite of tests is run multiple times with different configurations. conformance_cli, a command-line interface application, is provided for running on PCs and other devices and platforms which support this form of application. conformance_cli also demonstrates how to build an application that can interop with the conformance_test shared library. If the device being tested does not support a command-line interface, a host application must be built for the device that the OpenXR runtime will run on. -

HVVR
Hierarchical visibility for VR and real time rendering of effects
HVVR (Hierarchical Visibility for Virtual Reality) is an optimized software raycaster. It implements a hybrid CPU/GPU raycaster, suited for real-time rendering of effects such as lens distortion. By default, raycaster.vcxproj is configured to build all .cu files to the compute_61,sm_61 target. If your GPU needs a different code-gen target, you can change this in the raycaster project properties. Some installations of the CUDA SDK and Visual Studio integration appear to have broken build dependency tracking. If you're seeing behavior after code modification that looks like stale code from header files referenced in .cu files, try cleaning the solution and building from scratch (or install a newer CUDA Toolkit). -

VR Radio Helper
VR-Optimized ATC/Radio Plugin for X-Plane + FlyWithLua
VR Radio Helper is a FlyWithLua plugin for X-Plane 11. It allows changing the two main COM frequencies of any X-Plane airplane in Virtual Reality via convenient touch pad number buttons in a multi-crew environment. For many default airplanes, NAV, Transponder and Barometer can be changed as well. Flying VR multi-crew in X-Plane with ATC is a blast! Yet, the default X-Plane 11 VR knobs are horrible when trying to monitor/fly and dial in a new ATC frequency at the same time (takes up to 2 minutes for a 2-hour flight, just turning the knob and making sure that no turn got lost when using SmartCopilot). It replaces most ATC/navigation-related knobs with a number panel, like COM, NAV, Transponder and Barometer settings. Works with SmartCopilot, synchronizing COM/NAV frequencies, transponder codes and barometer settings between two pilots. -
