WebXR-emulator-extension VS cannon-es

https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/teleportation.html

Get a hold of the WebXR emulator extension. It is limited in features but it does allow you to enter VR in a desktop browser and test your application with some basic inputs. With tip 4, this is very powerful and you can test a lot before actually putting on the headset.

Here is the original emulator (w/o handsfree): https://github.com/MozillaReality/WebXR-emulator-extension

// ============ // part 2 // add base vehicle body // reference: https://github.com/pmndrs/cannon-es/blob/master/examples/rigid_vehicle.html // ============ const carBody = new CANNON.Body({ mass: 20, position: new CANNON.Vec3(0, 6, 0), shape: new CANNON.Box(new CANNON.Vec3(4, 0.5, 2)), });

cannon.js hasn't been maintained for 7-8 years, the project lives on here https://github.com/pmndrs/cannon-es you import it like so

Cannon-ES - 3D physics engine

Since I'm a big Poimandres fan I looked into react-xr, and it was very easy to get a first WebXR project up and running. Unfortunately, there are many dependencies in the ecosystem which slowed me down: react-xr is built on top of react-three-fiber which is built on top of Three.js, and physics is enabled by use-cannon which is built on top of cannon-es. For a long time I was running into issues and helping fix them with a couple of pull requests, and ultimately it was preventing me from working on the actual project. Still, Poimandres is a great community and I got a lot of inspiration from the content being shared in the discord.

This was the post I was remembering, see repo here: https://github.com/pmndrs/cannon-es

btw canon has been abandoned for years. it continues to receive support on here: https://github.com/pmndrs/cannon-es which next to bug fixes also gives it types and esm/tree-shaking.
