14 DAY TRIAL // Valve's foray into the Linux world has made it a lot more generous with its users and the game developers. The company has just released the source code for Steamworks VR API to everyone interested.
Valve has been experimenting with Virtual Reality technologies for some time, and its work is now available for download, at least in the form of the source code.
“The repository contains the source code for the Steamworks VR API. It is provided to ease debugging and allow experimentation with new kinds of hardware.”
“To use games on Steam with your locally built copy of the VR runtime set the environment variable VR_OVERIDE to the absolute path to the public/runtime directory on your local filesystem and restart Steam,” reads the entry on GitHub.
The license is also quite permissive and, as you would expect, it exonerates Valve of any problems that might arise.
You can download the source code from GitHub.
