The Open Source Virtual Reality or OSVR is an open-source software project that aims to enable headsets and game controllers from all vendors to be used with any games. It is also a virtual reality headset that claims to be open-source hardware and use open-source software, however as of October 2016 electrical hardware and firmware source files have not yet been made available. The hardware source files that have been released so far are under a proprietary, source-available license.

The headset is developed by Razer and Sensics.

The first model of the headset was introduced on January 2015 in CES. Shipping to select developers started on July 2015. Pre-ordering was opened to the general public by October and shipping started by November 2015.

OSVR has two main and independent parts: open-source hardware and open-source software.

The hardware consist of virtual reality goggles called the Hacker Development Kit.

The open source software platform allows virtual reality developers to detect, configure and operate virtual reality devices across a wide range of operating systems. It is provided under the Apache 2.0 license.

The project is primarily sponsored by Razer Inc. and Sensics. Partners in the project include game developers Ubisoft and hardware manufacturers Vuzix.

OSVR has requested help with creating Android Daydream VR Plugin.
