They also achieve very low latency, I didn't follow every single optimization they added but it basically boils down to a few encoding tricks (better image in the center, accept blurriness in the peripheral vision), good network infrastructure, and hardware decoding / encoding being really fast.

The no_std hal is still a bit of a moving target so it's not as beginner friendly, the most mature here seems to be the SlimeVR firmware: https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Rust/tree/main/firmware
For std hal there are a few more, OFMon being a good one: https://github.com/arashsm79/OFMon
