There is a wide spectrum between sending 3d models to web pages and The Matrix. There are 2 things going on here: 1) making gpu more accessible to the www 2) the headsets/glasses hardware. Everyone seems caught up on 2 when I think the more important thing is 1. I hope the future is to do 3d dev in www by default rather than depending on exporting a unity/unreal/etc thing. I can see www replacing a lot desktop 3d content creation apps if that came to pass.

Our startup is working on providing this support for exporting to the web for Unity and Unreal engines, so virtual worlds can reside inside the. browser.
- arcanon 5y agoCool. It seems like a big step to go from that to where the game engine is a part of the www itself. I guess the point is that wont happen? The browser just becomes a way to download unreal/unity/… clients written in C++.
- Nuzzerino 5y agoAny plans to open-source it? Closed source and "decentralized" (from another comment) doesn't seem to go together.
