 <em>git-bonsai, a prototype design for an intuitive spatial github client</em></p><p>A virtual environment provides an infinite space in which unfolding complexity becomes much more viable to do.</p><p>Part of the goal of Stardust XR is to allow the average user to become a power-user through intuitive interaction; because of the number of ways a user can engage with a 3D environment, this greatly increases the interactive bandwidth a developer
 can utilize.</p><h1>Form Flexibility Principal</h1><p>With a PC, you are essentially limited to a keyboard and mouse; with a touch screen, you&#x27;re limited to touch and multi-touch; in XR,
 you have hands, eyes, and body, which has an exceedingly large amount of available bandwidth for interaction.</p><p>The more interaction bandwidth you have to offer, the more customizability is not just something that <em>can</em> be done, it&#x27;s something that
 <em>must</em> be done to provide an adaptable user experience for real world scenarios. As XR expands into areas beyond just the home and workspace,
 this becomes increasingly important, and Stardust XR&#x27;s open platform and client creation philosophy allows developers to freely expand these
 types of interactions to meet the demands that computation brought into a 3D space bring. By opening up entirely new avenues of user interaction, user accessibility becomes built-in, vs the options of today that are typically hard-coded for only specific situations.</p><p>When you take advantage of the innate interactions and movements that come naturally to people in a 3D environment, and combine that with a library of base interactions associated with underlying computer structures, a system that is both modular and emergent in its ability to grow as XR expands more and more into the real world becomes essential.</p><p>Stardust XR is that system 🍉</p></div></article><nav class="pagination-nav" aria-label="Blog list page navigation"></nav></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer footer--dark"><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="row footer__links"><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Docs</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a class="footer__link-item" href="/docs/get-started/setup-openxr">Getting Started</a></li></ul></div><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Community</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://discord.gg/A9w7fKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Discord<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://matrix.to/#/#stardustxr:matrix.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Matrix<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://twitter.com/stardustxr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Twitter<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Stardust XR (GitHub)<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/sponsors/technobaboo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Sponsor This<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li></ul></div><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Code</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR/stardust-xr-server" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Stardust XR (Server)<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR/stardust-xr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">stardust-xr (includes Fusion)<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR/flatland" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Flatland<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li></ul></div></div><div class="footer__bottom text--center"><div class="footer__copyright">Copyright © 2025 Nova King</div></div></div></footer></div>

 <em>git-bonsai, a prototype design for an intuitive spatial github client</em></p><p>A virtual environment provides an infinite space in which unfolding complexity becomes much more viable to do.</p><p>Part of the goal of Stardust XR is to allow the average user to become a power-user through intuitive interaction; because of the number of ways a user can engage with a 3D environment, this greatly increases the interactive bandwidth a developer
 can utilize.</p><h1>Form Flexibility Principal</h1><p>With a PC, you are essentially limited to a keyboard and mouse; with a touch screen, you&#x27;re limited to touch and multi-touch; in XR,
 you have hands, eyes, and body, which has an exceedingly large amount of available bandwidth for interaction.</p><p>The more interaction bandwidth you have to offer, the more customizability is not just something that <em>can</em> be done, it&#x27;s something that
 <em>must</em> be done to provide an adaptable user experience for real world scenarios. As XR expands into areas beyond just the home and workspace,
 this becomes increasingly important, and Stardust XR&#x27;s open platform and client creation philosophy allows developers to freely expand these
 types of interactions to meet the demands that computation brought into a 3D space bring. By opening up entirely new avenues of user interaction, user accessibility becomes built-in, vs the options of today that are typically hard-coded for only specific situations.</p><p>When you take advantage of the innate interactions and movements that come naturally to people in a 3D environment, and combine that with a library of base interactions associated with underlying computer structures, a system that is both modular and emergent in its ability to grow as XR expands more and more into the real world becomes essential.</p><p>Stardust XR is that system 🍉</p></div></article></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer footer--dark"><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="row footer__links"><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Docs</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a class="footer__link-item" href="/docs/get-started/setup-openxr">Getting Started</a></li></ul></div><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Community</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://discord.gg/A9w7fKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Discord<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://matrix.to/#/#stardustxr:matrix.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Matrix<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://twitter.com/stardustxr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Twitter<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Stardust XR (GitHub)<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/sponsors/technobaboo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Sponsor This<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li></ul></div><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Code</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR/stardust-xr-server" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Stardust XR (Server)<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR/stardust-xr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">stardust-xr (includes Fusion)<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/StardustXR/flatland" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Flatland<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li></ul></div></div><div class="footer__bottom text--center"><div class="footer__copyright">Copyright © 2025 Nova King</div></div></div></footer></div>
