Very detailed and complete tutorial on how to create realistic trees with Threejs: https://tympanus.net/codrops/2025/01/27/fractals-to-forests-creating-realistic-3d-trees-with-three-js/
You can test the tree generator in your browser: https://www.eztree.dev/

Prototyping a bit over the weekend with #Mastodon API and #WebXR and did the home timeline in mixed reality!
Well, UI in mixed reality opens so much more new way to arrange content and you need to be creative to invent a new way to interact with content. It still poor proto.
I use #AFrame and #ThreeJS and with that stack I already missed HTML flexibility. But that's my own problem that I have this specific 2D content. For example, the positioning of the content inside the scene is cumbersome.
Speaking of hand tracking, though, there was at least one big headset that shipped in 2024 that *only* uses hand tracking, and that's the Apple Vision Pro.
Because it doesn't have a specific controller associated with it it's hard to gauge it's usage with these stats. but we CAN see that in February soon after the AVP started shipping there was a big spike in #WebXR usage with hand tracking!
By way of explanation, webxr-input-profiles is a repo of VR controller meshes that we maintain #WebXR apps, and is the default mechanism for displaying controllers/hands for libraries like Three.js. See the meshes here: https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-input-profiles/packages/viewer/dist/index.html
It is important to note not all WebXR apps use these assets! Even if they do they may not use the CDN that I'm pulling stats from, so these numbers don't represent accurate, absolute number of WebXR users. They're just a proxy for seeing ecosystem trends.
At the end of the year, I always like to look at some stats for the webxr-input-profiles CDN as a rough proxy for how active the #WebXR ecosystem is.
This year, post-Christmas, we're seeing more than double the WebXR usage compared to last year! And over 7x what it was just 3 years ago.
In other words, WebXR is still going strong, and reaching significantly more devices every year!

So for one #WebXR project that I have in mind, I'd need a full body avatar for the user. I don't want anything too complex, mostly moving the arms and hands.
I really don't know where to begin with that. Anyone have any keywords or guides I could look into?
I always wanted to make a prototype based on “Puzzling Places,” and I had the opportunity to do so with WebXR & Mattercraft, which was super fun to work on. It took a few days to make, and it allows for 2D & 3D-type puzzles while using a space theme, which I am a big fan of!
To learn more about Mattercraft WebXR and the creation of this prototype which works across multiple platforms such as (Zapbox, Quest 2, Quest 3s, Quest 3, Vision Pro, and ML2) check out my full video at https://youtu.be/doQ4tNzYveY
Hello everyone!
In today’s video, I’d like to give you an in-depth look at Zapbox, a Mixed Reality development device that is VERY AFFORDABLE and turns your iPhone into a fully functional MR headset.

Thank you ALL & let me know as always if you’ve any questions!
Anybody familiar with the device orientation permission on Safari on *iOS*?
It looks like `DeviceOrientationEvent.requestPermission()` always resolves with `denied` when requested from an iframe under certain conditions.
The specific conditions are unclear to me, but that prevents itch.io from running A-Frame and other WebXR experiences on iOS.
I wrote some details on itch.io bug tracker:
https://github.com/itchio/itch.io/issues/1669
Please boost!
I attended an amazing Collective Dreaming Workshop today led by https://hibaali.info and hosted by https://www.powrplnt.org!
Together, we created a collaborative VR space in https://newart.city and learned how to use the the platform.
I had heard about #NewArtCity before, but had never tried it and didn't know that there was a free tier.
Playing around with it gave me the same excitement I felt when I tried #MozillaHubs for the first time.
At least now it works well if you wanna play with it! https://volu.dev/sol-garden-zpY/

Found out this week that Spark AR Studio / Meta Spark is also being discontinued, along with third-party #Instagram augmented reality (AR) filters...
So far, the social #WebXR space has lost (as far as I know):
- #MozillaHubs
- #ThirdRoom
- #SparkAR / #MetaSpark
A nicely done #WebXR learning experience accessible with a #MetaQuest or #AVP https://galerio.io
I say app… it is literally just a free #webxr website https://xr.bbcmic.ro
Meta featured my app! yesterday, 1000s of people tried a BBC Micro for the very first time, over 40 years after its release
The fact an Arm CPU is reanimating its 8-bit ancestor in mixed-reality simulation is quite apt, too #webXR #MetaQuest #retrogaming #retrocomputing
