Introduction
Ocean is a platform-independent framework that supports all major operating systems including iOS, Android, Quest, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is designed to revolutionize the development of Computer Vision and Mixed Reality applications.
Open Source and Accessible
Ocean is licensed under the MIT license, ensuring that it is completely open-source and accessible to developers. By choosing one of the most permissive licenses available, we aim to empower developers to build, innovate, and transform their ideas into reality without the constraints of complicated licensing.
High Performance and Cross-Platform Compatibility
At the heart of Ocean lies a core written in C/C++, optimized for performance and efficiency. This allows the development of lightweight native applications that can operate smoothly across various platforms. Whether you're targeting mobile devices or headsets like Meta's Quest, Ocean provides the tools necessary to create compelling and immersive experiences.
Rich Set of Features and Demonstrations
Ocean is not just a framework; it's a comprehensive toolkit equipped with numerous demo applications that showcase its potential. These demos serve as both a learning tool and a source of inspiration for developers. For instance, one of the standout demos illustrates how to integrate an external camera, such as a simple webcam, with a Quest device. This enables developers to access live camera feeds directly on Meta's headsets, opening up a plethora of possibilities for innovative applications.
