component-material VS react-three-a11y

For the translucent blue color we can use a simple shader by using component-material on the first material

Thanks! Threlte is "just" offering a declarative way to express Three.js. If you know how the `` component and its props and event handlers work, you can use the Three.js documentation for everything else.

Apart from that with Threlte I personally practice documentation-driven-development, so ecosystem packages are exhaustively documented. If you're missing something, let us know via an issue[1] or on Discord[2].

Accessibility is a topic we didn't care enough yet to be perfectly honest. Accessibility doesn't stop at screen readers though, it's about contrast, size, colors, motion, reachability, and so much more that we cannot provide and are a consumer topic. Naturally WebGL apps suffer from being practically invisible to screenreaders. There are workarounds[3] but essentially this has to be solved by consumers of Threlte (devs) and hopefully by browser vendors at some point in the future.

There is an accessibility library from drei: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-a11y

Caveat: Not the most accessible thing ever. The pmndrs crew made a tool that does this way more accessibly, this would be my production-grade recommendation: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-a11y

like /u/thesonglessbird said, it exists: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-a11y it covers screen readers, tabbing , focus indication, roles, and so on.

That’s a bit of a cop out - React Three Fiber renders to a canvas too (obviously) and there’s a bunch of accessibility stuff in its semi-official ecosystem https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-a11y

To simulate the selected state you can try to use react-three-a11y. By wrapping our model with the component we will have access to hover, focus, and pressed state through useA11y() hook. We can try to display a SelectedMaterial based on the hover state for example.
