Hey everyone, it's been a while and we have some unfortunate news 😕 The Third Room team was recently laid off and the project is currently on pause. We're incredibly grateful for our time working on this project and building collaborative virtual worlds on Matrix! Huge thanks to our amazing team and community! The client code is open source and the thirdroom.io homeserver will stay up, but we're currently taking a break while we figure out next steps for the project. github.com/matrix-org/thirdroo

In the same way that JavaScript makes HTML documents interactable, Web Scene Graph (WebSG) makes it possible to add behaviors to glTF scenes! Using WebAssembly you can program with nearly any language, including JS with our QuickJS runtime.

Indescribably exciting to have just been the first ever(!) person to enter Matrix in VR, thanks to @[email protected]'s first cut of WebXR support. Add in freeform scripting via our WebSG API and built-in direct-manipulation scene editor, and the possibilities will be infinite!! 🤯🚀👽

WebXR is coming to Third Room soon!
