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. -

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 -

A web framework for building virtual reality experiences
A-Frame is an open source web framework for building virtual reality experiences. With A-Frame you can create WebVR with HTML and entity-component works on Vive, Rift, Daydream and more. A-Frame simplifies virtual reality by handling the required 3D and WebVR boilerplate to get you running on platforms like mobile, desktop, Vive, and Rift. Because it can be used from HTML, just about everyone can use it. A-Frame is a thin yet powerful framework on top of three.js. While A-Frame is completely accessible from HTML, developers can also make full use of JavaScript, DOM APIs, three.js, WebVR, and WebGL. -

Networked-Aframe
Web framework for building multi-user virtual reality experiences
Multi-user VR on the Web. A framework for writing multi-user VR apps in HTML and JS. Built on top of A-Frame. Follow the NAF Getting Started tutorial to build your own example from scratch, including setting up a local server. Networked-Aframe works by syncing entities and their components to connected users. To connect to a room you need to add the networked-scene component to the a-scene element. For an entity to be synced, add the networked component to it. By default the position and rotation components are synced, but if you want to sync other components or child components you need to define a schema. For more advanced control over the network messages see the sections on Broadcasting Custom Messages and Options. Create an instance of a template to be synced across clients. The position and rotation will be synced by default. The buffered-interpolation is added to allow for less network updates while keeping smooth motion. -

A-Frame Inspector
Visual inspector tool for A-Frame
A visual inspector tool for A-Frame scenes. Just hit <ctrl> + <alt> + i on any A-Frame scene to open up the Inspector. Get a different view of the scene and see the visual effect of tweaking entities. The VR analog to the browser’s DOM inspector. Can be opened on any A-Frame scene with <ctrl> + <alt> + i. Record and replay headset and controller pose and events. Hit record, move around inside the VR headset, interact with objects with the controller. Then replay that recording back on any computer for rapid development and testing. Reduce the amount of time going in and out of the headset. The A-Frame Inspector is a visual tool for inspecting and tweaking scenes. The Inspector is similar to the browser’s DOM inspector but tailored for 3D and A-Frame. Not only can we open our local scenes inside the Inspector, we can open any A-Frame scene in the wild using the Inspector (as long as the author has not explicitly disabled it). -

ApertusVR
Virtual Reality software library
The main feature of ApertusVR is the so called "Distributed Plugin-in Mechanism" which means that not only humans could be involved in a multi-user virtual reality scene but any element of the Internet of Things like hardware, software, robot or any kind of smart device. ApertusCore is a programming library written in C++11, that fulfills modern software requirements as it is modular, embeddable, platform-independent, and easily configurable. It contains basic software interfaces and modules for logging, event-handling, and for loading plugins and configurations. It is also responsible for distributed data synchronization. ApertusVR is a set of plugins that extend ApertusCore with XR (AR/VR/MR) capabilities, which help to integrate XR technologies into new/existing developments, products rapidly. It creates a new abstraction layer over the hardware vendors in order to use different display and control devices in any product or service. -

Arcan
Powerful development framework for creating virtually anything
Arcan is a powerful development framework for creating virtually anything from user interfaces for specialized embedded applications all the way to full-blown standalone desktop environments. At its heart lies a robust and portable multimedia engine, with a well-tested and well-documented Lua scripting interface. The development emphasizes security, debuggability and performance, guided by a principle of least surprise in terms of API design. For the main engine there has been quite some refactoring to reduce input latency; better accommodate variable-refresh rate display; prepare for asymmetric uncooperative multi-GPU and GPU handover; explicit synchronization and runtime transitions back and forth between low (16-bit) to standard (32-bit) to high-definition rendering (10-bit + fp16/fp32). -

Calcflow
A virtual reality tool for mathematical modeling
The repository contains the open-sourced code to Calcflow, a powerful mathematical visualization tool designed to give students, educators, and engineers a better grasp on some of the most difficult concepts in vector calculus. Utilizing the best UI/UX theory, Calcflow is an intuitive VR interface for vector calculus and is used by scientists and engineers for both educational and commercial applications. Today, the most common tool for complex maths visualization in the classroom is the TI-84+. Scientists, researchers, and other professionals who implement calculus in their work may rely on more complex toolkits like MATLAB. Though these tools offer broader functionality, they are similarly if not more unintuitive than their handheld counterparts. Calcflow shatters this interfacial bottleneck by enabling users to interact directly with complex equations in physical space. Users can manipulate inputs and parameters and observe changes to 3D visualizations in realtime.
