Tech stack & purpose

Simula is a VR window manager for Linux built on Godot that enables productive work in virtual reality. The project runs on compatible VR headsets equipped with monado-compatible drivers such as the HTC Vive, Valve Index, and others, and includes optional OpenXR backend support. Simula is built with Godot as its core engine and integrates various Linux components including xpra, xrdb, wmctrl, and terminator, with installation managed through the Nix package manager. The project originates from a reimplementation of motorcar and aims to solve text quality and usability challenges in VR desktop environments through custom filtering and gaze-based window interaction.
