UltimateXR - Virtual Reality Framework and Toolkit

We decided to make UltimateXR free and open-source because virtual reality is our job but also our passion. We want to help everyone creating VR applications; from indie developers to big companies. We want to assist academies and universities in their quest to teach VR by offering them the tools to do it more easily. We want the result of our work to be available to everyone.

But will it be maintained? Of course! It is the backbone of our company, VRMADA. We have been using it every day since 2016 and will continue to do so for years to come. We are determined to make it the best VR framework possible.
