Anyone know how a-frame compares to OpenCroquet/Cobalt/Qwak/etc. ?
The latter seems to be way more developed, with P2P networking, "3D hyperlinks", integration with XMPP/VNC/etc., integrated IDE for live-editing, etc. Those were all in Smalltalk rather than JS, but there are also JS ports/successors like Virtual World Framework, 3dicc, etc.
- ngokevin 9y agoA-Frame's just a general ECS-based JS/VR framework on top of three.js with access to any Web API. It's extensible and modular so P2P networking (or Websockets or Firebase) have been done as community components. The community is active, and it mirrors web development (versus like trying to do a Unity in the browser). 3D "hyperlinks" have been done, they can take whatever shape or interaction you want (e.g., portals https://supermedium.com/blog/oasis https://supermedium.com/blog/oasis), just have some event trigger a window.location change.
