Hi,
With some really cool hardware and software coming out in the XR (Virtual and Augmented Reality) space, I was working on adapting some of the existing packages in the home projects of various people and building some of my own, to be able to try out monado and xrdesktop with my headset and controllers.
I would like to have this work published in some project on OBS, for single point of contributions and, for some packages, inclusion in Factory in the future. Something like gnome-shell-xrdesktop sounds unlikely to be accepted, since it's a patch on top of the existing gnome-shell, but we should be just fine including monado and kwin-effect-xrdesktop in Factory to make using headsets on the openSUSE distros' desktop a little bit easier.
I would say hardware:xr sounds like the best place for it, but I don't think it particularly matters what it ends up being called. Would it be possible to create a project like that?
What is the current XR state on Linux? To the best of my knowledge most solutions rely on proprietary software that only runs on Windows. Is there some place where the hardware options and applications avaialble on Linux are described? Also this sounds like it mostly depends on graphics/desktops which have thir own develproject(s) - gnome, kde, Mesa, etc. Thanks Michal
