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

aframe.io is sort of a modern and more usable take on the VRML idea.

Somebody even added a VRML loader as a functioning April Fool's joke.

Fantastic! Simple concept, but the effect is amazing. I felt like I was in a museum, except I was browsing reddit. This gives me a lot of really fun ideas regarding the future of the internet! I keep wondering where VR is going to go!

This is insane! You could kind of see Epic ripping this off and browsing a Reddit museum with your Fortnite character. It reminds me of Playstation Home too.. but the fact it's so easy to jump in really alters how this could work.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

Probably this:

Amazing, this is clearly a glimpse into a future of internet content being less like a document and more like a virtual world. Suggestion: the enter key should focus the chat box (like a FPS game) so you don't have to hit escape then click on it.

Yeah, looks like project looking glass for the desktop ca. forever ago. The future is here?
