Description
While Open Source software is generally straightforward to setup without capital, it's much more difficult to do so for hardware. There are a number of limitations that make large scale open source XR hardware challenging, like Minimum Order Quantities, NDA agreements for chip and component definitions, and the upfront cost of manufacturing, testing and shipping the finished products.
Led by Noah Zerkin & Bryan Chris Brown, the Project NorthStar Foundation was started to help address these issues and provide an organization that is able to design, source, manufacture and distribute open source hardware.
This talk will take attendees through the journey of how we arrived at the foundation and what our future goals with the project are.
