Spatial media like virtual reality or augmented reality is perceived in such a fundamentally different way than computer graphics as we know them that we need to find new ways to describe it. This is an approach.
Furthermore this is an attempt to create the most accessible virtual reality library possible.
- 🏖 Learn how to create and use code virtual (reality) space in minutes.
- 💐 Code Virtual Reality like its the year you live in.
- 🤹🏻 Write in the language you know with the tools you love.
- 🚀 Write one version of your code that works on any device (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Desktop, Mobile, etc.).
- 🏰 Grab a cube now, move a castle soon!
Node.js must be installed.
(If you don't know how to use the terminal watch this.)
Clone a full copy of Meta.js:
git clone https://github.com/florianmaxim/meta
Select an example:
cd examples/basics
Run and open it in your browser:
npm start
You need to have Node.js (https://nodejs.org) installed.
(If you don't know how to use the terminal watch this.)
- Create a new directory and enter it.
mkdir meta && cd meta
- Initialize a npm repository and install Parcel-Bundler and Meta.js.
npm init && npm install parcel-bundler meta-client
- Create a index.html and a index.js file.
touch index.html index.js
- Paste the following into index.html.
<html>
<body>
<script src="./index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
- Add the following into index.js.
import {on, Cube} from 'meta-client';
on('touch', (data) => new Cube({position:data.position});- Start:
parcel index.html
Open http://localhost:1234/ in your browser.
Alternatively you can also put all steps together in a single line like this:
touch index.html index.js && echo '<html><body><script src="./index.js"></script></body></html>' >> ./index.html && echo "import {Ground, Cube, on} from 'meta-client';\nnew Ground();\non('touch', (data) => new Cube().set(data.position));" >> ./index.js && npm init -y && npm i parcel-bundler meta-client && parcel index.html
Read the Wiki to learn how to use Meta.js.

As any other software this is based on thousands of layers of programming abstraction. The upper layers on which this is build on are Three.js (Javascript 3D library) and Oimo.js (Javascript physics engine).
I probably learned most about space from Walter Lewin.
I probably learned most about toys from Julian Summer Miller.
That's basically what brought me here.

Let's start to redefine space!
