Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Mark Zuckerberg says Quest 3 'is the better product, period'
He's _probably_ right that for the majority of people, the Quest would be better.
Towards the end, when he starts talking about the open vs closed model, I find it pretty depressing that meta is the "open" model in this case. I'm pretty sure you still require a Meta account to use the headset. Not sure I consider that "open".
I would love to have a headset that was running Simula (or something similar). I tried Simula with a Valve Index and the resolution was just too low for me. But I could definitely feel like it was "the future".
I travel a lot now and work on one laptop screen. Having a small(ish) headset that I could travel with and then have a VR workspace instead of a single laptop monitor has the potential to be game changing (maybe).

SimulaVR $1.2M short of the project's total cost
>before anyone else did
Not disputing your claim per se, but Google had a project called Daydream back at least as early as 2017 (though seems earlier) and rolled that into Area 120 projects. They canned it at some point in 2021 I believe.
Whereas SimulaVR seems to have started working on this in 2018 per their YC app (but perhaps earlier?) https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/wiki/YCW19-Application

3D operating system
That's not rly an os, it's just a different gui, you could probably reuse linux and build it on top of that For example, there's a VR window manager for linux called Simula

Seeking info about nreal air usb interfaces
That's the dream! I really want to see if I can get it working with a VR compatible desktop env like https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula; but failing that, just getting the second display surface to be floating instead of fixed would be a huge boon!

VR for office work - a viable strategy?
That's a clever way of doing it. =) I have considered xrdesktop, Immersed and Simula (SimulaVR's window manager without their headset) as well. Seemingly, Immersed can only create virtual monitors and not separate windows for each application, which leaves xrdesktop and Simula the better options.

Godot Desktop Environment
You might be interested in looking at SimulaVR - it's a VR desktop built with godot (and haskell), but it uses, iirc, wlroots to handle windows and grab their surfaces to display as textures in godot.

Ask HN: Working in a VR Headset
So, you might be interested in https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula . There have been a few examples of VR windows managers on Linux which don’t require an entire OS rewrite.
Is that the solution Meta will go w/ almost certainly not. But replacing a WM for a different “view” of your OS is a pretty common thing on Linux. (For some distros like Arch, replace isn’t the right word. You have to install whichever one you’d like from the beginning)

XR2 Processor for purchase
The Simula One is a Linux-based, standalone VR headset with compute specs that are comparable to premium laptops (x86 architecture) as well as very high pixel density (35.5 PPD). The software its built over is open-source (https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula), and its hardware is being built in the open (though not entirely open-source since it would violate many of our NDAs, etc).

Run apps "virtually"
StardustXR very ambitious project with a larger scope than "just a window manager".

Priorities, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it even has a flatscreen mode to play with it without a headset! https://stardustxr.org/ :3

AMA with Stan Larroque, founder and CEO of Lynx — Ask all things Mixed Reality here!
I'm working on a system UI for Linux (https://stardustxr.org) that'll make this trivial and work to get Linux working on the R1 but there's no promises... Android as an OS is pretty optimized for mobile so making it work effectively on XR is difficult.

SiFive RISC-V Sees Some Performance Improvements On Ubuntu 22.04
There are two projects working on making a VR/XR display server using Godot, Simula and Stardust. So it's probably possible to do a TV-focused one, maybe you could use a lot of the code from them.

Getting OpenXR / WebXR to work with Valve Index - on linux. (A Unsolved Puzzle)
There are incredible initiatives such as StardustXR, and Simula which aim to bring the Metaverse to linux, but I am looking to solve some simple workflow issues:

Rony Abovitz on Twitter | Rony Deconfirms that the Sunglasses Form Factor Goggles From Yesterday were Magic Leap Two By Writing his Signature "N" for "No".
I wish I could find the link, if I could I'd link it it was like forever ago I read this. I read it wasn't a Hololens. Google has put down hardware, for now, it seems. And instead picked up software (OS-dev) for Fuchsia in the form of a system that can natively run android and Linux apps in the hope to dominate the field of what I hope is XR. Also I am excited about a project called Stardust-XR have you heard of it? I hope you find it interesting too. Uh so uh that's my rebuttal I hope you don't find me to be as much of an obsessive er.. obsessed person now. Thanks for reading.
