Hardware status
ME has zero custom physical hardware prototypes.
Not one. No projector, no bracer, no suit, no tool, no factory cell, no bench, no sensor tile.

What exists
Four pieces of software. Nothing here is a device.
ME OS
A from scratch x86-64 operating system
Runs on
QEMU and VirtualBox, on an ordinary computer
Cannot
- Never booted on a physical machine
- Factorio does not run on it
Holoprojector control software
The control layer a volumetric display would need
Runs on
A 3D simulator in a window
Cannot
- No projector
- No particle trap, no illumination hardware, no voxel
- The planned display method is unproven
Carl
The work layer, and a local panel for a group of agents
Runs on
One personal development machine, plus a hosted room people and agents share
Cannot
- Nothing is hardware
- The agent group is not deployed
- This site can reach the shared room and nothing else
AOS
The runtime that bounds what a running agent may do
Runs on
One personal development machine
Cannot
- Nothing is hardware
- Not hosted
- Nobody outside can reach it
Checked in QEMU by typing on the emulated keyboard and reading the framebuffer.
217 automated tests, none of which need a GPU. M8 and M9 are the two steps before any hardware.
