Learning Through Art: An Introduction to VR

Talkat JSConf US 2018 Β· on Tuesday, 2018-08-21Β· [webxr, web-performance]

Recreates Yayoi Kusama's obliteration room using A-Frame and models from Google Poly, building an all-white apartment, lighting it down from twelve sources to three for 30+ FPS, and generating sticker cylinders at the A-camera position with vector math to orient them toward the view. Stickers launch with velocity and use A-Frame physic systems (on top of canyon.js) as dynamic bodies, then flip to static on collision; physics primitives mismatch requires invisible primitive hitboxes. Result is a working, remixable VR obliteration room that sticks imperfectly but convincingly.
