Wow. Looks like a shameless rip-off of Three.js. Doing a search and replace of 'THREE' to 'v3d' is, frankly, disrespectful, IMHO.

PlayCanvas has a renderer that has an optimized path for stereo rendering - achieves great perf on mobile. https://blog.playcanvas.com/webvr-support-in-playcanvas/

I'd recommend checking out PlayCanvas ( https://playcanvas.com ). It gives you a pretty powerful editor app to build WebGL content. It's got a scripting interface, but you can create some pretty cool graphical scenes wit

Interesting. With a little hackery, it should be fairly easy to get this working with PlayCanvas. I'm not sure why it needs to use a new element type though (canvas3D).

I'm seeing a dramatic up-tick in companies wanting WebGL content to be built, either in-house or externally. WebVR is only going to accelerate this trend. So, sure, picking up skills around WebGL content creation should be a safe bet b

Or alternatively: if you can't even do a spinning cube, you have a problem.

PlayCanvas has a WebVR integration. You get a Unity-esque editing environment coupled to an open source engine that's built specifically for the web/WebGL. http://blog.playcanvas.com/easy-cardboard-vr-in-webgl&#x2F

There's always the open source PlayCanvas Game Engine. Why re-invent the wheel? https://github.com/playcanvas/engine

Cool. Feature request: generate the six faces to be used as a cubemap. Additionally, enable saving in an HDR format. :D

The engine itself is open source (MIT license): https://github.com/playcanvas/engine If you want a fancy editor to build more quickly, it's free to work in public. And for 'garage-outfits' that want to

You can't make this in Unity. Unity doesn't support the mobile browser whereas this runs on an iPhone 4S.

It's because Unity and Epic cross-compile large codebases to many MBs of JavaScript. This simply overwhelms the JavaScript engines on mobile. The PlayCanvas engine on the other hand is hand-written and is 125KB of JavaScript.

I'm not sure what's up with your iPhone 4S (although you do say 'equivalent') but on my 4S, I get around 10FPS. Not fast, but usable.

Have you tried it on your mobile? The fact you can experience this kind of content in the mobile browser and even mobile Facebook and Twitter clients without having to visit an app store is new and IMHO, very exciting.

WebGL is being utilized in Google Maps which has massive adoption. There are even whole browser based game engines like PlayCanvas - see https://playcanvas.com - that rely on WebGL. You have to remember, WebGL only gained full c
