There are still a lot of technical points that we want to improve. And they gave me some precious advice: make all of this open source. We took a trip to Silicon Valley and Oussama introduced me to the chief architect at Oculus, Atman Brinstock. I talked to him about setting up a company and launching a Kickstarter.īut he convinced me that for now, it’s better to wait on starting a business, to keep meeting others who have the same goals, and to keep learning.

The core headset computes the position of the headset in space.

To speed up VR development time, we built FastVR, an open-source SDK for developers that is easy to understand and customize. A fully hackable VR headset and development kit Putting all of this together, we ended up with a $100 VR headset. I wrote WRMHL, and then FastVR with Gabriel. I bought the cheapest components I could and we started by learning the very basics of the physics and math behind VR (proper acceleration, antiderivatives, quaternions…).

I wanted to understand every aspect of it. It was because of an anime called Sword Art Online where the main character is in a virtual reality RPG that I fell in love with VR.

I spent one year building a very basic 8-bit OS from scratch and competing in robotics contests with my friends. Every Monday and Tuesday, my friends and I used to go to his classroom to learn and practice instead of having a meal at the cafeteria. I started programming when I was 13, thanks to my math teacher. I’m 16 and I built my own VR headset with my best friends, Jonas Ceccon and Gabriel Combe. By Maxime Coutte How you can build your own VR headset for $100
