Alright, so it seems like @Michael and I are official starting something together.
In a nutshell, we are building an environment to design and code mixed-reality (MR) experiences directly in headset, on the web.
Mixed-reality, spatial computing, “the metaverse” (🤢); regardless the name, Apple and Meta are coming in hot with new hardware, new app stores, and not-new 30% taxes.
But what about the web? How do we create a thriving ecosystem of apps for those devices?
We are building tools for the next generation of spatial apps. Currently, to build for mixed reality, you need expensive hardware, and to learn Unity or Unreal (those are made for games, not apps). The dev experience is exhaustive: write code on your computer; put on your headset; test; take-off your headset; repeat.
Imagine being anywhere, with just a headset and a Bluetooth keyboard, to build your app, on an opensource framework, directly in mixed reality? This is what we are building.
How are we going to make money? On top of the FOSS library (https://github.com/Volumetrics-io/MR.js) we are building a cloud based editor to store projects, assets, and eventually deploy your site.
Last thing: I won’t be talking about Volumetrics much on my main account. For this, feel free to follow either @lobau or @Michael for the nitty gritty conversations we will have, hopefully that will be fun! (this is basically our slack 😄): https://volumetrics.social/public/local
