Re: AR Web

>>Is there a group that is currently working on extending regular web pages with 3D content?<<


I had an idea a while ago about extending Wordpress pages into 3D objects; sort of "spreading" the page around in 3D space, but that's about all I've done so far. It would suddenly inject a lot of default content into the world. Sort of a "Minority Report" API (how I explain it to Hollywood types).


I had a (traditional) publisher that wanted me to cover WordPress alongside A-Frame and React in my second book (I wrote the book "Getting Started with React VR[now 360]", but the acquisition editor insisted on WordPress being covered in the second VR book "because it was another one of the larger web API's."


It did get me to thinking ... there could be something to that.

All,

last week at Magic Leap we released our browser Helio.
You can find an overview here: https://www.magicleap.com/experiences/helio

As part of its feature set, we created a set of extensions that allows authors to create and manipulate 3D objects such as animated models and textures. It also allows extraction so content can be pulled out of the browser and placed in the user's environment.
To make development easy, we created a library called "Prismatic" that provides a simple declarative syntax.

We'd like to iterate on our current approach with others vendors and work towards an open standard that works on 2D, AR and VR devices.
I looked at the current community and working groups but couldn't find one that covers our current use case.

My questions are:
- Is there a group that is currently working on extending regular web pages with 3D content?
- If not, is anyone interested in working with us on this?

Please let me know if you want more details on our current implementation. I'm happy to explain.

Thanks,
  Rik
