I’ve been excited about virtual worlds for a long time now. I dabbled in VRML wayyyy back then, built things in Second Life, explored Mozilla Hubs, poked around in VRChat (more to come there) all in the pursuit of virtual spaces to augment the physical world.
There’s been a consistent problem with all of the platforms created so far. They’re silos. You build for them and your content is stuck there. We’re just now getting to viable, open, standards for spatial experiences on the web – the most accessible and open platform.
With that I’ve created a new space to showcase the various projects I’ve worked on. This space will evolve and change but I wanted to make something that hearkened back to the days when the internet was fun. When people were building weird, wild things and uploading them for all to see. This is also my first step in creating a virtual space that is open and accessible and not locked to a platform (using three.js, webGL, and some help from Claude). If I DO upload something to a platform you can bet it’s all built offline and ready to go anywhere. But that’s future me stuff. Current me has this to show you:
