The GearVRf Project
NEWS -- The 2015 San Francisco VR Hackathon is in Real Past
but is Virtually Available Here !
It was from May 22 and May 24 at Galvanize, The Modern Tech Campus, 44 Tehama Street in San Francisco.
The GearVRf open source team DID again shake things up this year:
- GearVRf platform highlights wowed the crowd.
- Example GearVRf applications were rolled out.
- Congratulations !!! (cue the orchestra...)
They won THE 2015 Golden Hacky for the best GearVRf application
that displayed a map of San Francisco with live positions of Muni buses and trains,
which allowed you to zoom in and out of an area of interest.
(oh yeah, they also won a Samsung Galaxy S6 phone and a Gear VR Innovator Edition HMD).

The Gear VR Framework (GearVRf) Project is an open source collaboration based on the GearVRf open-source rendering library for application development on VR-supported Android devices.
GearVRf makes it easy to develop compelling VR applications:
- Easy-to-use Java application development environment
- Easy access to powerful VR technology
- Does not require extensive knowledge of OpenGL and the Oculus renderer
- Simple and effective rendering manager
- Compatible with mainstream VR development tools.
The GearVRf API provides VR application developers with simplified access to Oculus SDK functionality, via the Java Native Interface and the GearVRf native library.
