I can't seem to find an demo of what this can do. Am I blind or is there no example?

It seems to be in a half-baked stage. The Quick Start guide has broken links: https://m-creativelab.github.io/jsar-runtime/manual/quick-st...

Oops, Thank you for catching this, I will fix it.

I've added a download page at https://m-creativelab.github.io/jsar-runtime/download.html. There, you can download the macOS application which allows you to open HTML files. You can also find sample HTML files here: https://github.com/M-CreativeLab/jsar-runtime/tree/main/fixt....

Sounds very interesting but could we have examples please? All the examples are either not working on missing.

It would also be good to have a link to examples very high up on the front page.

yorkie11• 12 months ago

Thank you for your suggestion. I will update the examples on the landing page very soon.

By the way, I've already added a download page at https://m-creativelab.github.io/jsar-runtime/download.html. There, you can download the macOS application which allows you to open supported HTML files. You can also find sample HTML files here: https://github.com/M-CreativeLab/jsar-runtime/tree/main/fixt....

What is it?

The page goes on and on about how compatible it is but doesn't once mention what the thing actually is.

lol came here to say this but i guess something to do with VR headsets?

andybak4• 12 months ago

Seeing words like "spatial" and "immersive" I was rather expecting it to run on at least one headset?

yorkie11• 12 months ago

Yea, it’s primarily designed for headset or AR glasses, but it can also function as a special web browser for desktop platforms (e.g., macOS). By default, the window is a 3D space where you interact with web content (both 2D & 3D).

You can download the macOS version I just compiled today from https://m-creativelab.github.io/jsar-runtime/download.html. Try opening a supported web page with it, such as: https://github.com/M-CreativeLab/jsar-runtime/tree/main/fixt....

So is there a build that can run on a headset? Preferably not a Vision Pro as I don't have access to one.

As others have mentioned, you seriously need a (even silent will be fine) video showing the distinctive features. I should not need to download the app just to try it? What if I'm reading this from a different platform? Mobile phone?

Thanks for the great suggestion!

I'll prioritize creating a demo video to showcase JSAR, and will share it soon. Really appreciate your feedback!

So is this WebXR?

yorkie11• 11 months ago

Yea, WebXR can run at a spatial browser.
