OSVR Hacker Dev Kit or HDK is a Virtual Reality head-mounted display created by Razer. Hacker Dev Kit is the OSVR's first device. It was announced in GDC 2015 alongside Razer's VR Platform Open Source Virtual Reality or OSVR. OSVR Hacker Dev Kit has an open source and modular design that not only allows the user to replace and renew its hardware components but also build one from scratch. The schematics is available for free on OSVR's website.

OSVR Hacker Dev Kit went on sale on July 6, 2015 at a base price of $199.

Hardware

Hacker Dev Kit or HDK is open sourced just like its software counterpart. Users can freely download its schematics from OSVR's website. It is ideal for users who like to build their own devices or make modifications to pre-existing ones. HDK has a modular design that allows the users to replace older components with newer versions or customize the entire HMD.

On March 25, 2015, OSVR announced that it will have an optional faceplate with Leap Motion hardware and software incorporated. This faceplate allows the HMD to accurately track the movement of hands and fingers.
