neom_vr

An experimental Virtual Reality module for Flutter applications, part of the Open Neom ecosystem. Focused on democratizing VR for smartphone users without expensive equipment.

Current Version: 1.2.0

Philosophy

VR must be accessible to everyone. We believe immersive experiences shouldn't require expensive headsets. neom_vr explores novel ways to deliver VR using readily available mobile devices.

Features

Current Capabilities (v1.2.0)

  • Custom Painter Engine: Native VR rendering without external library dependencies
  • Sensor-Based Navigation: Uses device sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope) for head tracking
  • 360 Spatial Viewer: Immersive panoramic content viewing
  • Stereo VR Mode: Split-screen for Google Cardboard-style headsets
  • Fullscreen Experience: Optimized immersive viewing

Installation

dependencies:
  neom_vr:
    git:
      url: git@github.com:Cyberneom/neom_vr.git

Usage

import 'package:neom_vr/vr_routes.dart';

// Navigate to 360 spatial viewer
Navigator.pushNamed(context, VrRoutes.spatial360);

// Navigate to stereo VR mode
Navigator.pushNamed(context, VrRoutes.vrStereo);

ROADMAP 2026: Accessible VR Platform

Our vision is to create a world-class mobile VR platform that makes immersive experiences accessible to everyone with a smartphone.

Q1 2026: Core Engine Enhancement

Rendering Engine

  • GPU-Accelerated Rendering - Custom shader-based 360 projection
  • Optimized Painter Engine - 60 FPS on mid-range devices
  • LOD System - Level of detail for performance scaling
  • Texture Streaming - Progressive loading for large panoramas
  • Anti-Aliasing - MSAA/FXAA for smoother edges

Sensor Fusion

  • Advanced IMU Processing - Kalman filter for smooth tracking
  • Magnetic Calibration - Compass integration for absolute orientation
  • Drift Correction - Long-session stability
  • Low-Latency Pipeline - <20ms motion-to-photon
  • Prediction Algorithm - Compensate for rendering latency

Q2 2026: Content & Formats

Media Support

  • 360 Video Playback - Equirectangular and cubemap formats
  • 8K Support - High-resolution panoramic videos
  • Spatial Audio - 3D positional audio tied to head tracking
  • Live Streaming - Real-time 360 content
  • Offline Caching - Download VR content for offline viewing

Content Types

  • Photo Spheres - High-resolution panoramic images
  • Virtual Tours - Multi-room navigation with hotspots
  • 360 Stories - Interactive narrative experiences
  • VR Galleries - Art and photography exhibitions

Q3 2026: Interactive Experiences

User Interaction

  • Gaze-Based Selection - Look-to-select UI
  • Cardboard Button Support - Physical trigger input
  • Voice Commands - Hands-free navigation
  • Gesture Recognition - Camera-based hand tracking (experimental)

Guided Experiences

  • VR Meditation - Immersive mindfulness environments
  • Breathing Exercises - Visual breath guides in VR
  • Nature Escapes - Calming virtual environments
  • Focus Spaces - Distraction-free work environments

Q4 2026: Advanced Features & AI

Biofeedback Integration

  • Heart Rate Visualization - Real-time HRV display in VR
  • EEG Integration - Brainwave visualization (with compatible devices)
  • Stress Response - Environment adapts to user state
  • Session Analytics - Track relaxation progress over time

AI-Powered Features
