Additionally, it would be great if one could try the software with already owned VR headsets, without having to buy their hardware before.

Their software is open source : https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula

However it looks like they are more focused on hardware than software right now

Yep, you can try out our software at https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula on the HTC Vive and Valve Index platforms.

If you don't have one of those headsets, there are some videos of people (whom we have no affiliation with) on YouTube testing it out: https://youtu.be/8gVLF8SnK84?t=424 Here's also (a pretty old) video of me hacking on Simula, in Simula: https://youtu.be/FWLuwG91HnI.

It's also true that we're more focused on hardware right now. We plan on reverting more towards software development in 2023. For more details: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/issues/180#issuecomment-1...

Some things we have planned to implement include VR window tiling and some other UI stuff.
