I made something useful (and fun!) in #threejs #webXR - something that lets you see a mirror of your actions - live or with a delay, or save it to a GLTF file to share, or use in a 3D tool. Check it out at zachernuk.neocities.org/2022… (in Quest/etc) and read on for some observations!
Interested in learning more about the HTML 3D <model> element across macOS, iOS , and visionOS, or the new model-based Immersive website environments? the Spatial Web team is in the forums right now to answer your questions! Ask and follow along here:

Safari on macOS and iOS 27 have joined visionOS in having full support for the HTML <model> element! 🫖
I am so excited for everyone to play with it. We go into the details about how it works and what to expect in the excellent session here:

As well as that, we've enhanced the <model> element in visionOS to drive the new immersive website environments, letting you control playback and position as well as preview inline!
Details are in this session, with some truly thrilling visuals: developer.apple.com/videos/p…
In a world of spatial computing, what is the future of information?
What is the Future of Text? Of poetry?
In my spare time I used #threejs to revisit some of my favorite kinetic typography - video below, and link in the thread to experience it yourself:
Growing the original's wide expanse of white all aroudn you allows for surreal, otherworldly focus on the text.
The speed and the scale of the words test the limit of conscious legibility, enhancing a sense that the poetry is absorbed as a *feeling* as much as read as a text.
This is huge for 3D on the web as well!
If you or your organization wants to show products, configure 3D stuff or even do spatial web visualization, please join AOUSD and the Web Interest Group to hear about what people are doing, and give input on how to make USD work for you!

3D models on the web have been at the center of my world for over a decade, and I’m so excited about where we are today.
We’ve got a new post about the HTML Model element and how to use it - and cool demos you can take a look at yourself! Check it out at webkit.org/blog/17118/a-step…
I couldn’t be more excited- the HTML model element is ready for you to use in visionOS 26! Learn more about it in our talk linked below 👇

And watch the whole thing for the new developer feature we’ve been playing with to experience the full scale of your spatial content: website environments. So much to play with!
Happy #WWDC25 everyone! If you have any questions at the event about 3d models in Safari and the spatial web in general, please feel free to say hi!
visionOS 2.0 is officially out today! That means WebXR is available by default, and you can use the new things we covered at WWDC24: Custom Interaction regions, spatial and panorama images and more!
Check the WWDC video for a refresher on how it works:

Want to know more about building great content for the spatial web in visionOS? I had the privilege to cover it at #wwdc24 - and the video is now live! Check it out at developer.apple.com/videos/p…
I hope it gets your wheels turning 🚲 about what you can do on the platform😄
