A-Frame is an open-source web framework, written in JavaScript, for building virtual reality (VR) experiences.[2] It is maintained by developers from Supermedium (Diego Marcos, Kevin Ngo) and Google (Don McCurdy). A-Frame is an entity component system framework for Three.js where developers can create 3D and WebXR scenes using HTML. HTML provides a familiar authoring tool for web developers and designers while incorporating a popular game development pattern used by engines such as Unity.
History
[edit]A-Frame was originally developed within the Mozilla VR team during mid-to-late 2015.[3] A-Frame was created in order to allow web developers and designers to author 3D and VR experiences[4] with HTML without having to know WebGL.[5] A-Frame's first public release was on December 16, 2015.[6] On December 16, 2019 A-Frame version 1.0.0 was released.[7]
Community
[edit]All online IDEs support A-Frame as a result of being based on HTML. Documentation is available for the API.[8] Support for developers committing to the library is provided via GitHub issues, while support for developers building apps and web pages is provided via StackOverflow.[9] Real-time on-line support is provided via Slack.[10] Most of the developers are also on Twitter[citation needed].
Usage
[edit]Mozilla Hubs chat room software uses A-Frame.[11]
