The first release of the Monado project has been published, aimed at creating an open implementation of the OpenXR standard, which defines a universal API for developing virtual and augmented reality applications, along with a set of layers for interacting with hardware, abstracting features of specific devices. The standard is prepared by the Khronos consortium, which also develops standards such as OpenGL, OpenCL, and Vulkan. The project's code is written in C and […]
The Archive.org project (Internet Archive Wayback Machine), which stores archives of website changes since 1996, announced a joint initiative with the developers of the Brave web browser.

The innovation is implemented in […]
Flipper Zero is a pocket multitool project based on Raspberry Pi Zero for pentesting IoT and wireless access control systems. It is also a tamagotchi, where a cyber-dolphin lives. It will be able to: Work in the 433 MHz range — for exploring remote controls, sensors, electronic locks, and relays. NFC — read/write and emulate ISO-14443 cards. 125 kHz RFID — read/write […]

Protox is a mobile messaging application that allows users to communicate without a server, based on the Tox protocol (toktok-toxcore). Currently, it only supports Android OS, but since the program is built on the cross-platform framework Qt using QML, it may be ported to other platforms in the future. The application serves as an alternative to Tox clients such as Antox, Trifa, and Tok — almost all […]
Following Blender and Godot, Epic Games has continued to support open-source software development. This time, the grant was awarded to ArmorPaint – a program for texturing 3D models, similar to Substance Painter. The reward amounted to $25,000. The program's author mentioned on Twitter that this amount would be sufficient for development throughout 2020. ArmorPaint is developed by a single individual. Source: linux.org.ru
