LÖVR
LÖVR is a lightweight, open-source Lua framework that makes it easy to build 3D games and virtual reality experiences. It provides high-level APIs for stereo rendering, controller and hand tracking, haptics, spatial audio, physics, and more, while staying under a few megabytes in size. The framework runs on a wide range of VR hardware via OpenXR and can also be used without VR hardware for regular 3D development. It is beginner-friendly, unopinionated, and suitable for game jams, commercial projects, and education.
