Awesome. Does anyone know of something with a similar structure that can be used as a spatial journal or memory palace? I find that when I’m remembering various things I naturally associate them with random geographic places I know and have been looking for an open-world type 3D environment where I could place information (links, document, text) explicitly to help with organization and recall.

I see a number of folks saying this site ran flawlessly on their phones (and it did on my LG G7, chrome browser), but lags on laptops in various browsers.

Seriously, what is going on here? This tangent is related, but slightly off-topic...

I have a similar issue with 3D graphics at work. We use a HTC vive with a software called Revizto to view industrial 3D models (for what is essentially power plant designs). The problem is that you can only load part of the model because it's apparently too complex for the system to handle and some objects won't render. Say you loaded an architectural model of something a football stadium, with Revizto you can only run perhaps 1/20th, of the model in VR. It works a little better in you double the PC's video RAM, but not much. It's a major pain. However, you can run VR games that seem far more complex, the environments go on forever, and you can even have smooth animations and physics interactions.

What gives? It seems to me I should be able to run my 3D models in VR to run as smoothly as a game. How do I load a complex 3D model to run smoothly in VR?

Very smooth on on my laptop using Chromium v78 and very laggy on Firefox v70 (Ubuntu 19.10).

Same for me. I wonder what makes the latter so bad?

Turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox seems to make it work much better. No idea why!

There is a huge difference between architectural or CAD models to game optimized assets. Optimizing a model is called retopology.

Amazing! One piece of feedback, if author stops by:

One the first linked project: https://prior.co.jp/discover/en/hospitality

The scroll controls the flow, but it doesn't respect OS setting. I am using "inverted" scrolling (aka Windows style) on a Mac, but the site only works with the default Mac style scrolling. Something to watch out for :)
