30,000+ visitors across 500+ tours in VR. Now rebuilding for the open web: browser-native, no downloads, no platform lock-in.
30,000+ visitors. 500+ guided tours. Six years of production in VR. All of it locked behind app downloads and platform accounts. Now rebuilding everything for the open web: WebXR, browser-native, click-to-enter. Three 1:1 scale reconstructions of ancient Greek sites: the Acropolis , the Agora , and Olympia . Multiplayer, explorable, with voice chat and light interactions. 500+ guided tours delivered to educational institutions, cultural organizations, and private groups over six years. The fundamental problem: all of it locked behind app downloads, platform accounts, and proprietary infrastructure. Social VR platforms don't support integrated ticketing, scheduling, or the control needed to…from archaeoxr.com

Hey all, I’m coding up a new tour system for my 3d Egyptian work. After the last feedback, I focused on building more interactive content and fx into the guided tours with sound and telling the mythology in the wall art. I’d love feedback with the new version – this is built with vanilla Three.js and footage captured on my iPhone 12. For various fx, I coded many of my own shaders based on work by https://twitter.com/akella and others on ShaderToy, so I’m keen to test on more devices. As the hacker, so the (ancient) painter.

Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…
