Amazon Sumerian: create and run browser-based 3D, AR, and VR applications
- xerox13ster 7y agoMy first impression of this is that Sumerian is to Aframe as UiPath is to VB, where the former is WebVR and the latter is Automation
- bhouston 7y agoAmazon bought GooCreate after it went bankrupt and became this.
- azinman2 7y agoJust clicking their skate example lead to a very long loading page. Not exactly a great user experience.
- arminiusreturns 7y agoAm I the only person who gets annoyed at names like this that step on search results for existing topics?
- dataking 7y agoGood question. I agree that this is a problem but I wonder whether it is mitigated somewhat by search engine customization. I think the set of people that are simultaneously interested in Sumerian (the product) and Sumerian (all things relating to Sumer, the people of Babylon, etc.) is relatively small I imagine?
- rudyfink 7y agoI expect it is a nod to Neil Stephenson's "Snow Crash," which was a book focused on virtual reality that put the Sumerian language in a central role.
- caycep 7y agoI wonder - are there importing tools already written that that imports complex 3d files from, say, blender, or other apps?
- winrid 7y agoI'll have to investigate how the rendering is done - webassembly, webrtc? Straight JS?
- stubish 7y agoBrowser support? Firefox 72 (Ubuntu snap install) on the skate demo I get a 'not supported' screen, but following the trail to the release notes they claim Firefox 61 or newer support. Works with Chromium (Ubuntu snap install) after clicking through a warning and waiting for the load screen.
