Yep, still better than the New Reddit. Great job!

Still links to the new Reddit design when visiting links from Reddit 3D, unfortunately.

http://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect will fix that!

Cool... this reminds me of what "cyberspace" was supposed to be in the fever-dreams of cyberpunk fiction.

Amazing! I might just use this as my go-to reddit app moving forward... A couple suggestions: any chance movement could be a bit faster? I'd rather run through the museum if given the chance, just as I can scroll quickly through reddit. Maybe I'm just too used to playing CSGO and expect my character to move a bit faster I kinda wish it included some slight head bobbing to, but I guess that's a matter of preference.

Just added Shift to sprint, enjoy!

I remember VRML being a thing and me wanting it be something usable :) Thanks for making this. Feature request: I'd like to run holding shift

PLEASE someone (masterspy7 ?) make this into a proper VR app! I'd love to do this in my VR headset.

I just added WebVR support! You can enable it by clicking on the headset icon in the bottom right

I've been thinking about building something like this for ages now. Very well done.
