Open Code Collective Creating the Social Spatial Web – Liam Broza, Ethereal Engine
AR glasses are coming, they will have computer vision and amazing recording sensors, they will be running browsers in social Web XR. Who will control this future? Making a 3D space you’re in complete control of should be easy. The web provides the right context and tool to create natural integrations to existing platforms, that works across all devices and performs as well as native apps. We are web and interactive creators who have been making open tools in this emerging space. Ethereal Engine is an open source platform driven by a community wanting to push the limit on what is possible on the web. We want a spatial website to be as easy as starting a blog or video feed. Our ecosystem of libraries and projects enables developers to use a modular set of tools to gradually migrate into the immersive future. This talk will share about building Spatial Web communities that are scalable, open and decentralized. Attendees will get an overview of the Spatial 3D web and learn about the opportunities and risks of computer version, augmented reality, virtual reality, special computing, and virtual worlds.
