  #FreeCAD #AstoCAD I am currently working on modelling tools in FreeCAD XR Workbench. That includes: - working plane that can be aligned to object's face normal - drawing wires (polylines) for face creation - making pads and pockets from these faces #VR Teaser below:

  #FreeCAD XR Workbench can run now on Wayland thanks to the EGL interface. Works with #SteamVR and @MonadoXR or any runtime that supports XR_MNDX_egl_enable extension. Note: this is an early work amd requires an pyopenxr fork and Coin3D compiled with EGL instead of GLX (info: https://github.com/kwahoo2/freecad-xr-workbench/blob/main/doc/EGL_Howto.md)

  ...and another attempt to Free Flight tool for @FreeCAD (navigate with keyboard and mouse like in a FPS game). Since I failed to deliver equal experience on all platforms using just Qt, this time I'm experimenting with SDL library provided by pySDL3 python bindings.

  Testing/developing #FreeCAD XR workbench without VR hardware should be easier now. I created https://github.com/kwahoo2/remote-mndset This is a client for @MonadoXR remote driver. The client supports both keyboard/mouse or gamepad input. Of course, remote-mndset can be used with any OpenXR application, as long as the Monado runtime is used.

  @FreeCAD Virtual Reality addon just works with Tilt Five AR glasses and the latest beta runtime(1.5). Pretty cool, knowing that T5 does not obstruct real world view. Tip: you can pair two T5 wands with single glasses to get full left/right hand controller scheme.
