Equirect is a VR video player built in Rust that prioritizes user privacy by collecting no data, unlike competing applications. It plays equirectangular videos in VR headsets using OpenXR and WebGPU for graphics rendering. The application supports hardware-accelerated video decoding and handles various video formats.
The maker reports that Claude AI generated nearly all of the codebase, with the developer supervising and refining the output over approximately 20 hours. The project demonstrates how AI code generation can accelerate development in unfamiliar domains like Rust, OpenXR, and wgpu integration.
