Web-based multiuser VR for fluent interactive collaboration and work

30 November 2022 No Comments

Check this blog post we wrote about our multiuser web-based VR tools that help connect students, teachers and researchers inside virtual worlds to discuss on virtual objects -here molecules that they can grab, move, zoom, and even deform with realistic physics, using just their hands and available everywhere thanks to #webxr. An article with plenty of examples in videos and photographs of actual users engaged with the tool. We are making science fiction reality!
