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 -

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. -

Hover UI Kit
Create beautiful user interfaces for immersive VR/AR experiences
Hover UI Kit is a tool for creating beautiful, customizable, dynamic user interfaces. All interface interactions utilize a simple and consistent mechanism, the "hover", which users can perform with any 3D input device. These interfaces are designed specifically for VR/AR applications, addressing the complex UX challenges of these immersive environments. Virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) applications must provide ways for users to interact -- to select items, to move them, to modify them, to trigger actions, to control their virtual world. The user experience (UX) can become increasingly complex as new features are introduced, leading to a long list of application-specific interactions that can conflict with each other and can be difficult for users to learn. Hover UI Kit is built to solve this problem. It is a tool for creating beautiful, customizable, dynamic user interfaces. -

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).
