Initial release of IdeaSpace – Open source CMS for the virtual reality web
- griffinmb 10y agoA virtual reality web is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. As in, how do we make the 'Metaverse' a reality. In particular, I've been thinking about how to best handle distributed identity/look. It's definitely an interesting problem, and it's cool to see tools like this already being built.

- sbuttgereit 10y agoAs much as this seems a little glib ( ;-) ) I was just thinking this myself. This is not necessarily new territory... just the user interface technology may have changed a bit. I think Second Life still kicks around (I might even check), but it seems like the next wave of hype may simply be a case of what is old is new. Of course, thinking a bit more and being a bit glib myself, perhaps this really means that Second Life may have a thir... er.... second life itself.

- educar 10y agoWhat makes this different from any other CMS? Tightly VR integrated? If so, what exactly does that mean? The example shows some revolving globe. I am not sure what to make out of it.
- chriscar 10y agoIdeaSpace uses A-Frame for the definition of WebVR themes. Themes are templates which are used when you create a new VR Space. A VR Space is like a blog post, but can be viewed in Google Cardboard or the Oculus Rift. You can upload images, write text, (more content types will be implemented) for a specific space. So you can change the content of a VR space dynamically.
- Animats 10y agoHow do you navigate? You've looked at one spherical picture. Then what do you do to look at something else?
- chriscar 10y agoIn Google Cardboard v2 you have to press the button. In Oculus Rift (or on desktop) you have to press space bar for viewing the navigation menu.
