Kudos for the Zig and V examples (or rather example skeletons), how very un-Microsoft-like to venture into such bleeding edge territory ;)<p>(the actually great thing is that the engine exposes a plain C API: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;StereoKitC&#x2F;stereokit.h" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;StereoKit...</a>)<p>PS: double-kudos for making the API C99 designated-init-friendly, at least as far I can see from skimming over the source (e.g. &quot;zero means default&quot;: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;blob&#x2F;1bf86b281e883041f9e0dbba32259de47966b46d&#x2F;StereoKitC&#x2F;stereokit.cpp#L126" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;StereoKit&#x2F;blob&#x2F;1bf86b281e883041...</a>)

Somewhat meta, but why would Microsoft I use the Kit suffix which has been widely used by Apple adopted from NeXT?

The time has never been better for a new “game engine” or 3D app framework. Unity is trying to be everything for everyone and hasn’t done a great job of taking care of its core audience: indie game developers.<p>Unity is the de facto choice for XR developers but it’s a poor application framework. Something like StereoKit that caters to non-game devs and can provide rendering, a flexible interaction model, UI, and a good multi-user app model could really steal Unity’s thunder for multi-platform development.

StereoKit seems like straight up cut to the fun. In my little free time all the other VR &amp; MR platforms have so much cruft. Unity, endless configuration. Unreal, clone an fork of it and build it. Please I want to play &amp; occasionally teach.<p>Any plans for AR support?

How does this relate to or overlap with Microsoft MRTK? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;microsoft&#x2F;MixedRealityToolkit-Unity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;microsoft&#x2F;MixedRealityToolkit-Unity</a><p>(@koujaku)

Stereokit is fantastic. Ive been looking for a .net game engine to try - and love the runtime asset importing.<p>Are examples of its use for a traditional desktop use? Like screen space UI. And maybe mobile touch input? Or are both of those out of scope and XR is the focus. I am wanting to try a side project in it - but hoping to make it both VR+Desktop.

It&#x27;s depressing how there&#x27;s so little VR for Apple. Maybe they&#x27;ll blow us all way with the iPhone of VR soon but at the moment my Macs have no VR love.<p>To make this related, I was prompted to this thought by the fact that the list of supported platforms does not include macOS

I see font rendering is not adapted to 3D in the screenshot, so it is not yet ready for serious UI work. I presume curves are not rendered in an adapted way either, so everything will look pixelated around the edges.

I wonder if it can be embedded in the future in Unity.
