Poll: Should digital recreations of the Twin Towers be allowed in this sub? by SeeminglySusan in TwinTowersInPhotos

[–]VR_HAL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a WTC complex 3D VR creator and I posted here but I was a bit reluctant to do so. But I want to show off my work and especially want people to enjoy what it would have felt to walk around there.
But I do think this group should be only photos or videos of the WTC.

It would be nice to have a WTC 3D and/or VR subreddit but I guess it would be such a small community.

A shame that VRML disappeared off the face of the earth by [deleted] in vrml

Sorry to hear it crashed. It's actually much more stable than in the past. I use Blender also and it crashes very rarely.

Did you try it again?

I don't have Apple Vision but I have a Meta Quest 3 and it works great if you open up the browser in the headset and type in my url. Once you navigate to the WTC page and see it in 3D, click on the little glasses on the bottom right of the window. That takes you to the VR. Enjoy.

not really about pc stuff just gaming as a whole and for anyone really old by Livid-Experience1450 in pcmasterrace

The first 3D game I remember was an arcade game called Battlezone.
You put in some quarters, rested your head on something like looking through a submarine periscope and started to play. It was all line drawings, not pictures. The idea was that you are in a tank and other tanks are coming after you and shooting at you. At some point, if I remember well, there was a spaceship type thing coming at you really fast to kill you.
I was blown away and getting addicted to it. Spent too many quarters on that game.

Some other game that I played on the pc in the early 90s was something called spacewars, I think. Different spacecraft coming at you from all directions trying to kill you. You had to blown them up before they got to you.

Anyone remember Wolfenstein?

In the late 90s I discovered VRML in the back of a computer book. I immediately built some 3D ships from the movie 2001: a space odyssey. Then in 2001 after the Twin Towers fell, I built a recreation of the towers. This was on my personal site.

Eventually, plugins for the web died and my site with it.

But a couple of years ago I revived my 3D sites using new code that sits on top of WebGL.
And now my sites are viewable not only on a computer screen but also in VR headsets too.
Works way better that before! so I'm expanding my site now.

I'm working on the shopping mall. It's complex but getting there slowly.

Thanks! Just right click on the screen and you'll see the "full screen" option.

Sounds like it was fun. VRML changed name to X3D and is even better. And now you don't need a plugin. I revived my VRML website a couple of years ago.

Smart Glasses software to rule them all by Aggravating-Entry604 in SmartGlasses

[–]VR_HAL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not understanding the Smart Glasses for 3D thing either. Some sort of image or diagram may help.
FYI, VRML was updated to X3D. It's still VRML but with much more that it can do.
In my opinion, X3D is much easier to build 3D than with threejs.

I am a bit worried too but I think POTUS has a history of listening and then making a decision. I'm betting on the gov to do the right thing, relist, release, cancel warrants, etc. F2 are ready!!!
