About This Software

Somewhere to watch

Gantry is a video player for the Steam Frame. It runs natively on the headset, arm64, and the same player
runs on Linux desktop with any OpenXR headset. It plays your own files, from the headset's storage or over
your network, in a black void, a gas station at night, under the aurora, or in low earth orbit.

Environments

Seven ship with the player. Six are skybox + ground environments, light on the Frame: Stars, Salt Flat, Red
Nebula, Earth Orbit, Aurora and Synthwave. One is a 3D environment, the gas station, with teleport locomotion
and ambient sound.
