General VR Hardware Question (Score 1)

I noticed quite a few of the posters seemed to have worked on - or at least given some thought about - home built VR hardware. I know I've killed a lot of common household appliances mocking up things and trying to get them to communicate with the various ports on by box. Is there any sort of open project out there for VR hardware? If there isn't, shouldn't there be?
