Open Source VR driver development, reverse engineering and community gathering of OpenHMD.

We will discuss the last year of development, including positional tracking progress, some big changes in the release schedule, and discuss new steps for the project!

Gathering for the OpenHMD open source AR/VR community.

We have been working on a BOOST licensed driver for AR/VR/MR hardware for platform and hardware independent use. During this BoF session we will go over the current state of Open Source VR, go over the progress we have made, and have open discussion about VR and Open Source. In our 2017 session, we even hacked together basic camera support for the Oculus CV1, have fixed up our then recent Sony PSVR driver and made plans and collaborations with other Open Source developers.

If you are interested in this field, develop games/engines, have experience with reverse engineering (USB), like Computer Vision or DSP logic, please come and hang out!

OpenHMD is a community building full open source drivers for different type of VR devices such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PSVR and others. Since we found out quite a bunch of our contributors are attending this event, we would like to take this opportunity to meet up to have development and design discussions, but also to introduce new people to our project, and even help out reverse engineering new devices, or help out implementing OpenHMD in other projects!

This meeting is for everyone interested in our project and community, discuss things like VR in Open Source, multi platform development, application integration, device support and anything related in general.
