WlxOverlay X

A lightweight OpenXR overlay for Wayland desktops, inspired by XSOverlay.

This is a rewrite of WlxOverlay (That one is for OpenVR).

Superceded by WlxOverlay-S

Please check out WlxOverlay-S, the next generation of this software, written using OpenXR, OpenVR and Vulkan in Rust. It provides the same functionality without the performance drawbacks of StereoKit and the NVidia compatibility issues of EGL.

Highly Experimental

Feel free to reach out in case you run into issues.

Usage

Recommend grabbing rustup if you don't have it yet.

Start Monado or any other OpenXR runtime.

Required extensions are EXTX_overlay and MND_egl_enable.

cargo run

You'll see a screen and keyboard. You can turn these on and off using the watch on your left wrist.

Right click: turn your controller so that your backhand is facing your hmd. You'll get a yellow laser. Pull trigger for right-click.

Move screen: Grab using grip. Adjust distace using stick up/down while gripping.

Resize screen: Same as Move screen but turn your controller to get the yellow laser.
