VoxelArt Web Virtual Reality (WebVR)

Create Your Own Web Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality

I used A-Frame, A-Frame Is A web framework for building virtual reality experiences, A-Frame handles the 3D and WebVR boilerplate required to get running across platforms including mobile, desktop, Vive, and Rift.

3D Model

You can download and use 3D models or object from anywhere or create your own with Blender. For this repo, I created my own model based on DTS Kominfo Logo with MagicaVoxel, you can watch tutorial on my youtube channel here:

In case you want to use your own models, simply replace the .obj .mtl .png files with yours. Don't forget to export your MagicaVoxel or Blender project properly.

For better and faster development you can use Spck Code/Git Editor for Android, I mainly use this Way.
