I was surprised how usable it was on my iPhone, great job!

Thanks, I hate it? Seriously, great job, supremely disorienting - it almost felt like the Internet again.

Also, I could walk through the walls of the "museum", are there no clipping options?

This is glorious. It's a less good 'user experience' than browsing reddit itself, but it's also better in every way.

Nice. D (right) doesn't seem to work for me though. Also - are the black plaques meant to show anything?

Sorry about that! I haven't tested across all browsers yet. It should look like this though: https://imgur.com/a/Lm1ipGm

What inspired your decision to make the line of sight of other users visible?

This doesn't work at all for me in Safari tech preview on Mac, just has weird blue background and some white lines. Normal safari seems to load a visual, but I can't seem to do anything with it. TL;DR- I don't get it, but thanks for sharing.

It's definitely possible, I just didn't have time to implement clipping properly haha.

How about when you visit certain subreddits it turns into a game of Doom?

Some subreddits work really well with this ambiance. E.g., https://3dforreddit.com/r/villageporn :).

I remember VRML being a thing and me wanting it be something usable :) Thanks for making this.
