Arduino Integration

Is there any hope of reaching out to the Arduino folks to merge this MIDI impl into their primary repository?

New Samples

A list of planned future samples * sample-engine-events (child/parent, collisions) * sample-engine-model-import (make it a model viewer app) * sample-engine-animation-system (skinning system) * ~sample-engine-picking (raycasting and object picking)~ * sample-xr-painting...

Bullet3 is included and repo already has starter wrapping code. Previously it was integrated into samples on an ad-hoc basis, but it's ideal to have a `rigid_body` component type and...

render hardware interface (GL 4.5, DX12, VK, MTL)

Polymer is presently uses OpenGL 4.5 features across the codebase. The eventual goal will be to replace all GL with a rendering abstraction capable of targeting multiple graphics backends. A...

Current plan of attack is to use the Microsoft gLTF SDK. https://github.com/Microsoft/glTF-SDK

This is relatively trivial just need to put some time into it.

Also: Experiment with compute shader skinning as a job

VR Interaction Base (lib-engine)

A core promise of Polymer is a unified method of treating interactive VR objects. This concept only exists in various bits, pieces, and smaller prototypes. This system should be capable...

At present, Polymer's renderer is fairly rigid and not exactly hackable/adaptable. Unity's [scriptable render pipeline](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptableRenderPipeline.html) is worth an investigation alongside [LabRender](https://github.com/meshula/LabRender/blob/master/assets/pipelines/deferred.json) from @meshula
