Project information
OSVR has two main and independent parts: open-source hardware and open-source software. The project is primarily sponsored by Razer and Sensics.[3] Partners in the project include game developers Ubisoft and hardware manufacturers Vuzix.[4] OSVR has requested help with creating Android Daydream VR Plugin.[5]
The open source software platform allows virtual reality developers to detect, configure and operate virtual reality devices across a wide range of operating systems. It is provided under the Apache 2.0 license. Since August 2018, the electrical hardware source files are available.[6] The files that have been released so far are under a proprietary, source-available license.[7]
One of their most popular hardware consists of virtual reality headset called the Hacker Development Kit. The first model of the headset was introduced in January 2015 in CES.[8] Shipping to select developers started in July 2015.[9] Pre-ordering was opened to the general public by October and shipping started by November 2015.[10]
