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.

How can I use C++ libraries/SDKs?
I have been using C++ for a while but never really touched on using a full on SDK and now I want to use this SDK from Valve but my issue is that it isn't clear to me how to use it. What I mean by this is that it comes with a lot of subdirectories and extra stuff but how can I make a hello world program and able to call functions from the header file included in this SDK? I have used .h files before so I understand how the linker and all that works but with such a robust SDK I am not getting how this works on VSCode or maybe that I shouldn't even be using VSCode?

Porting game to VR - water shader messed up
1) I considered switching a while back, but I was already really far in by the time I realized that OpenVR was outdated. If you search for SteamVR, OpenVR comes up as the API to use, and the github site does not mention it being deprecated anywhere. It's generally not obvious unless you are specifically searching for confirmation of obsolescence. In any case, my question is API agnostic.

How are we supposed to build a metaverse when I can't share a simple .exe demo anymore like the old days?
OpenVR is open to anybody writing a driver to support their equipment there. Anybody can do it. Always has been. Citation, for my point: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr

dll mod to add the option of controller rotation offsets to any OpenXR game.
This is awesome! I requested something similar back in 2019 (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/issues/1262) but Valve never delivered.

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).
