As launchers often handle executable code and online connectivity, security is paramount.
| System | Scope | Limitations for 3DM | |--------|-------|---------------------| | SteamVR Dashboard | 2D overlay, single environment | No scene graph merging, no state persistence | | Oculus Home | Single user space | Proprietary, no cross-application teleport | | Android Launcher | 2D intent system | No spatial semantics (3D bounds, occlusion) | | WebXR Launcher | Browser-based | No native process management |
3DM Launcher is the first to treat 3D applications as spatial first-class citizens. 3dm launcher
Today, if you download a "3DM Launcher" from a torrent site, it is likely one of two things:
The truth: The official 3DM group stopped distributing a standalone launcher years ago. They now focus on releasing cracks via simple codex or tenoke-style folder replacements. Most files named "3dm launcher" today are either obsolete or malicious imposters. As launchers often handle executable code and online
The 3DM Launcher is not merely an app icon grid in 3D space—it is a fundamental operating system service for spatial computing. Our architecture, protocol, and prototype demonstrate that launching, suspending, and teleporting 3D applications across devices and environments is feasible with sub-second latency. As spatial apps evolve from monoliths to distributed, persistent experiences, the 3DM Launcher will become as essential as the task manager or file explorer is today.
SLP is a lightweight, binary protocol over QUIC. Key messages: The truth: The official 3DM group stopped distributing
| Message | Payload |
|---------|---------|
| LAUNCH | SPID, bounding volume, initial transform, SSC URI |
| SUSPEND | SPID, freeze timestamp |
| RESUME | SPID, resume token |
| TELEPORT | SPID, target environment ID, new transform |
| ATTACH | SPID to parent SP (e.g., plugin as child) |
SLP supports lazy state transfer – only deltas (position, animation frame) are streamed; static assets remain cached.
