Title: I&#x27;m a programmer with a lot of experience with GL. I&#x27;m mostly working with data visualization in general, but I wrote several non-toy 3D engines in the past.<p>I&#x27;ve been rather oblivious with VR as of date, even though I toyed with 3d glasses on an SGI Octane decades ago. After a couple of experiences with the Oculus though, I&#x27;d love to start hacking on VR technology.<p>As my development platform for the last 10+ years as been exclusively Linux, and again almost exclusively targeting high-end NVidia cards, I have no interest in switching OS whatsoever.<p>What is the status of VR on linux? It seems that most headsets are platform and vendor-locked. Why is this the case? Are some devices more hackable than others?
