Open source and open standards in VR
summary
Open-source projects are building concrete VR infrastructure: Janus VR seeks to be the web in virtual reality and is available as an open codebase, while High Fidelity and other libraries provide networking and avatar systems for social spaces. Social VR demonstrates clearer nonverbal cues—body movement and faces—compared to text, phone, or Skype. Open standards and shared tooling reduce platform fragmentation, let developers keep pace with rapid hardware changes, and create an accessible development path that actually produces reusable, working experiences.
