WebGPU/WebXR integration is ready for developers to start testing in Chrome canary! Available on Windows and Android with a couple of small example pages to get you started.
Please give it a try, file bugs, and give us feedback!

Few things more inspiring than the TRS-80 MC-10 software emulation library at @archive.org - over 800 programs, some rather recently written, trying to squeeze every glowing drop of potential fun and old-style computer joy out of a powerless computer system.

I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file.
PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields.

My water experiment in #webxr using #threejs is live. If you have a WebXR-compatible device, you can access it here: webxr-water.vercel.app
For now, the experience is optimized for #MetaQuest3. I plan to add support for more devices soon.
I hope you like it 😊

This past weekend, I built a portfolio website entirely using natural language through bolt.new — no coding required. The site itself is powered by @threejs.org and React.

The steam engine was invented in 1712. An observer at the time might said: “The engine will power everything: factories, ships, carriages. Horses will be obsolete!” They would have been right—but *200 years later*, we were still using horses to plow fields:

i think its soo important to get the sky right if you want a place in vr to feel real. Stars especially just feel off most of the time, usually because they're way too bright or uniformly spaced out.
for most of my worlds I like to use star maps from NASA: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4851/

Let's talk about Faraday's Law. What's Faraday's Law, precious? Well, it's the reason that a sheet of aluminum can bring a swinging magnet to a screeching halt.
