I'd love to see a decentralized version of this - VR instances run on individual or group-owned servers that perform the bulk of the environmental simulation and rendering for clients, and have some sort of intercommunication protocol. Once we have high-res environments and fluid UIs to use them, I really want to create my own virtual space, share it, and experience others' spaces, I just don't necessarily want Facebook controlling it.
- bai0 7y agoHave you checked out JanusVR? It's pretty much what you're describing. Its web client, native client, and server are all open source. Anyone can create worlds and host them like you would any other website, and links between sites are represented as portals. For a sampling of some of the worlds people have built, check out https://vesta.janusvr.com/ https://vesta.janusvr.com/
- heyitsguay 7y agoInteresting, thanks for sharing! So what are the features a big company like Facebook can offer over e.g. JanusVR? Asset generation? Network effects? Does JanusVR have anything like a killer app?
- avaer 7y agoYou might be interested in a talk I did on this last weekend: https://youtu.be/MOf7mDQ2xfU https://youtu.be/MOf7mDQ2xfU TLDW: - transclude WebVR worlds with URLs - delegate authority recursively - pay for things with e.g. Github Sponsors - enforce licenses, allow remixing - tech demo
