Simula is a 3D window manager for Linux.
Mission: Facilitate a Linux future for VR & AR Desktop. In the short-run, this means allowing people to run 2D Linux apps with current generation headsets. In the long-run, this means allowing people to run Linux in standalone AR & VR HMDs. Currently, Simula is aiming to be compatible with the HTC Vive.
Project documentation with user and developer information is hosted at simulavr.readthedocs.io. Also you can peek in the doc/source directory for the raw reStructuredText files.
Origins: Simula is a reimplementation fork of motorcar. To read about motorcar, see Toward General Purpose 3D User Interfaces: Extending Windowing Systems to Three Dimensions.
Contributors: We're looking for open-source contributors. If you're interested in using Haskell to (cleanly) bring VR and Linux together, but don't have an HTC Vive, PM or email me at georgewsinger@gmail.com.
