This repository is a comprehensive guide to Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Extended Reality (XR). It serves as a valuable resource for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts looking to understand the landscape of XR technologies, including hardware, software frameworks, and development tools. The guide aims to consolidate information, making it easier to navigate the rapidly evolving XR ecosystem.

How It Works

The guide is structured as a curated collection of information, categorizing resources by topic. It covers essential AR/VR development tools and frameworks like Unity and Unreal Engine, hardware such as Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and HoloLens, and foundational concepts like computer vision and linear algebra. The approach is to provide a broad overview and pointers to specific technologies, rather than a tutorial or code repository.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a documentation repository. No installation or specific requirements are needed to access the information.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive coverage of AR/VR hardware, including detailed specifications for major headsets like Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, and HoloLens.
• Comprehensive lists of development tools, frameworks, and libraries across various platforms (Unity, Unreal Engine, ARKit, ARCore, OpenXR, etc.).
• Inclusion of foundational computer science topics relevant to XR development, such as computer vision, photogrammetry, linear algebra, and machine learning.
• Detailed sections on graphics APIs (Vulkan, Metal, DirectX) and their associated tools and learning resources.

Maintenance & Community
