Made a webXR virtual pet as part of February's #threejsjourney community challenge. Great fun and many excellent projects. Its just a website as viewed through a Quest3.

So glad I was able to participate and thankful to Bruno Simon for creating this vibrant space to learn with others. Hope I can find time to do another one soon.
