react-xr VS AUXL

I think the easiest for you would be to get into this through web development try this https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber coupled with this https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr But don't expect super beautiful graphic from this, it's abstraction over three.js library which is abstraction over webgl standard which implements OpenGL ES 2.0 which is 7 years old graphics standard targeted to mobile devices with not much power. Or you can experiment with unity (unity XR) or unreal engine which are harder to learn but produce better graphics.

there's also a VR layer that makes previously complex things so easy https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr

I'm a pure threejs afficionado myself, but r3f also has some good things going for it: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr

as an example, these are AR/VR components that allow you to build apps in minutes because all the hard parts have been taken take of, for instance gestures: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr

I haven’t played with it, but if I was going to I’d start here https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr

React-XR for leveraging the WebXR API (e.g VR Headset + controllers) & React-Three-Drei which has useful functions for creating WebGL content.

React three fiber is amazing for building 3d on the web, and has an XR canvas https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr

Their docs and examples are beautiful and make it so easy to get started. As a web dev myself, the transition was pretty easy, since it was as simple as "swapping dom out for threejs objects". You get the react "engine" around it for free. Super fun for game development. (even with WebXR support https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr)

I tried a bunch of the popular game engines and none of them really clicked for me. It wasn't until I found A-Frame and Three.js (which isn't an engine at all, but a Web 3D XR VR AR Renderer) that had an Entity-Component Architecture with a foss eco system of components that you could mix and match then things started making more sense.

So did I cleverly use all these freely built components to make the greatest XR experience ever? Nah, I decided to re-invent the wheel and do everything myself :). I do enjoy the challenge and freedom to build my own ultimate tool though and I know it's not likely others will use it, but I did release it under GPL3 anyways. It has a wiki (slightly outdated atm :)), starter script and some examples too.

It's pretty fun as both a learning/practice experience and actually be able to use it for various builds. Makes it even easier to prototype XR ideas which I love. I am currently wrapping v0.3 which has added tons of improvements, although it's not exactly ready for release, if anyone feels like checking it out I added some links as ref...

AUXL (A-Frame UX Library) v0.3 repo --> https://github.com/Minty-Crisp/AUXL

I'm actually working on an advanced engine for A-Frame which most likely is overkill for your current needs, but maybe in the future if you wanted more interaction, movement and scene features it may interest you. https://github.com/Minty-Crisp/AUXL

I myself hope to create lots and lots of interesting Web XR experiences using A-Frame specifically, so much so that I started creating my own foss A-Frame UX Library engine to make it easier to do so. It's called AUXL and you can check out the repo with a basic in-progress example here -> https://github.com/Minty-Crisp/AUXL . I am still fine tuning the basic v0.1 release with more testing and polishing, but plan on building out normal web site like scenarios as well as a mini Hidden Object Puzzler and Visual Novel experience to help stress test the system looking for improvements. A wiki will come later as well, but if you are interested in playing with it feel free to hit me up with any questions about it and I can help you get started.

I'm still polishing the initial version v0.1 and no wiki just yet, but if you have any questions hit me up or are interested in contributing I'd be happy for the assistance. https://github.com/Minty-Crisp/AUXL
