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. -

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. -

VR Neuroanatomy
Explore and dissect a complete brain model in VR
Understanding the anatomy of complex organs such as the human brain can be a challenge for students, so there is a definite advantage given to students who can experience the structures in a spatial way through real or virtual experiences. Since 2016, the Marquette Visualization Lab has been utilizing a dataset of 3 and 7 Tesla MRI scans from the Structural Informatics Group at University of Washington to visualize the structures of the brain in their Cave, utilizing the Unity game engine and 10 stereoscopic 3D projectors. Most MRI scans are presented as a volumetric rendering, but this dataset is unique because it was fully labelled and parcellated, allowing lab users to not only view the structures of the brain, but also virtually dissect it in a large scale, collaborative virtual reality environment. This year, in the interest of making the learning experience more mobile and accessible, the visualization was ported to the Oculus Quest. -

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. -

Relativty
An open source VR headset with SteamVR supports for $200
Relativty is not a consumer product. We made Relativty in my bedroom with a soldering iron and a 3D printer and we expect you to do the same, build it yourself. We started Relativty because after watching Sword Art Online we wanted to make our own VR games. Thus Relativty supports SteamVR games and can be modified to add support for any DIY or off-the-shelf VR device. The room-scaling AI can be used with any camera, it tracks your body based on video input. Precision and freedom of movement are still very far from dedicated sensors, however, we believe that the model can be trained and improved by orders of magnitude. We designed an affordable motherboard that runs the Relativty Firmware, it is based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 processor and uses an MPU-6050 as it’s IMU. The naked PCB and the components to solder on, cost in total about 25 dollars. -

SaccadeVR-mobile
A software package of Unity to use HTC VIVE Pro Eye
A software package of Unity to use HTC VIVE Pro Eye, a head-mounted display with virtual reality technology, for assessment of saccadic eye movement. C# programming file to configure the measurement system. C# programming file to disable the tracking of head movement of the VR headset. If the tracking is active, the position of the stimuli targets for saccade measurement changes when the user moves the head. Data of eye movement are recorded in a text file. The text file is created under the folder of SaccadeVR_ViveProEye. Unixtime of the computer is recorded in a specific text file when the saccade task starts in each saccade trial. With the recorded time, the latency (response time) of saccadic eye movement is calculated. We use version 2 in SRanipal SDK to measure the eye movement and to enable eye data callback function to continue to record the data of ocular movement independently of the main thread of the program. -

Simple Note VR
Notification system to display plain text in VR for Unity engine
A simple notification system to display plain text in VR for Unity engine. Please go to the release page to download the package. Import the package into your own project, simply drag the "NotificationVR" prefab to the scene. Then, in your own script, call "SimpleNoteVR.Instance. Notify(string words, float lingertime)" to trigger plain text notifications.([lingertime is the duration that your notification will last for]). You can also choose to call "SimpleNoteVR.Instance.Notfiy_Hold(string words)". This function will instead keep the notification in place until you call "SimpleNoteVR.Instance.Notfiy_Release" to release it. Notify_Hold/Notify_Release functions might be useful in cases like notifying players a loading process is ongoing/finished. -

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). -
