Unfortunate name collision, and we never got around to renaming ourselves. I'll bring it up with George.

- seanmcdirmid 7y agoWhat is the reason you went with the name in the first place? Simula is the first part of simulation (which Simula was specialized in expressing), but I'm not seeing a simulation aspect here. Maybe an inside design inspiration relating to VR and simulating reality? Or maybe named after a village in Estonia?
- georgewsinger 7y ago"Simula" reminded me of the word "Simulation" or "Simulate", and had a good Matrixy feel to it. We're open-minded to a name reboot as we get further off the ground. Right now we're working on perfecting Linux VR Desktop (for 2D apps), but the long-term goal is to bring forth killer office VR apps (for productivity, not gaming/entertainment) that wouldn't otherwise be possible in normal 2D Linux. These apps will likely take advantage of VR as an amazing "Simula[ting]" environment.
