Environment

VR HMD

Description

Please restore historical DRTVWR-344 ("DRTVWR-344_viewer-hmd") into the GitHub secondlife/viewer repository as useful for experiments. Appreciate not all early experiments and trials for project viewers can be copied over, but some may be useful.

https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-hmd

Linden Lab VR Viewer exploration was using the code "DRTVWR-344" ("DRTVWR-344_viewer-hmd").

The final successful nightly automated build was on 11/11/2014 (https://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/drtvwr-344_viewer-hmd/rev/296725/index.html) but that had issues. The earlier final commits made by VoidPointer Linden should be used as the basis for any exploration rather than the later changes.

Some history of VR HMD viewers in Second Life is in this blog post... https://blog.inf.ed.ac.uk/atate/2022/02/20/vr-viewers/
