So VRML's a 3D file format, and A-Frame's an entity-component JavaScript framework. Check out https://github.com/aframevr/aframe and you should be able to discern.

Much younger obviously, but same entity-component architecture and dedicated to WebVR. A lot of components just like there are on the Unity Asset Store.

Yup, A-Frame supports Rift/Touch and Vive with controllers and room scale (Firefox Nightly)! Watch me code A-Frame room scale VR with motion capture recording https://www.twitch.tv/videos/133862568

I think OP meant virtually. Tapping on lighthouses is just like physically hitting them. Virtual attacks have bigger implications.

I'd expect 2D canvas to have worse performance than WebGL. I don't think that's a fair comparison for WebVR. Try out https://aframe.io/a-painter/ when you get your Vive in Firefox Nightly and try out the

Check out the room scale Vive/Rift demos at https://github.com/aframevr/aframe . They run on Firefox Nightly, 90FPS, low latency. The Web has a bad stigma associated with its 2D pieces, but it's definitely not

It's only the first generation, akin to those giant blocky cellphones in the 90s. I manage one or two 2 hour sessions per day though. My wife and I just got out of a 2.5 hour one ( https://www.twitch.tv/videos/12532

It's more like $600 rig + $800 headset minimum for room scale today. We know hardware gets cheap fast.

Mention ( https://web.mention.com/ ) is also another social mention tracker. I use it for an open source project and would recommend it.

In China, the high speed rail tickets are just about equally as expensive as flights. Though not having to go through Chinese airport security and flights are worth it. No mobile devices allowed at all during flights!

Yup. We have a 2800-person community Slack for an open source project. Slack Archive set us up for free, and it works well. But we still direct people to Stack Overflow since the Q&A is more discoverable there.

Search competition is different from browser competition that mainstream media likes to hype up. A few hundred million for 10-15% of the search market is nothing, Bing and Google would gladly offer a bit of money. There are also partners ar

That's not the point. There's a poison pill in the contract. Mozilla can walk out of the existing contract, get all of the money in lump sum, and sign with another search partner (while still being paid by Verizon). There are othe

You could develop for WebVR ( https://mozvr.com ). That way you can publish whatever you want, no gatekeepers, and will eventually have instant distribution to anyone with a browser and headset.
