Overall Structure of Stardust
"Stardust" itself refers to a complete user interface comprised of Stardust Core and enough modules to make it usable independent of another device. "Stardust Core" only refers to the core that includes the engine, API, input, module loader, and OpenXR integration.
Stardust Core must use modules to expand its capability. Modules have a wide range of capabilities:
- Application compatibility (Wayland, OpenXR, etc.)
- Core system interaction (notification area, application menu, etc.)
- Additional hardware support (SLAM sensor, camera, microphone, hand tracking module, etc) that is not covered by OpenXR
- Virtual hardware (virtual controller, virtual keyboard, etc)
- Highly integrated applications (Exokit, 2D web browser, etc)
As Stardust is an XR UI and there is no set terminology for many XR elements, this is the current language used in Stardust documentation and source code:
Here is a flowchart to show how 2D and XR applications will run inside Stardust:
