The Digital Self, Community, Society and Beyond
summary
Claim is that spatial web games must live on the open web and the demo shows a working engine: a live high‑fidelity 3D browser world with full-body humanoid with hair physics, drag‑and‑drop asset import that auto‑generates collisions, GLB/GLTF/VRM avatar support, and a low‑code level editor roadmap. Core tech includes 3js renderer and physx compiled to WebAssembly, networking via websockets + SFU, performance bound by WebGL until WebGPU, roughly 40 to 70 creators already building, and the code is open source MIT.
