A Week of A-Frame 46
What's up with A-Frame, a WebVR framework for building virtual reality experiences, from Jan 27, 2017 to Feb 3, 2017.glTF support has landed! This is an early, but more performant alternative to COLLADA and OBJ formats, and we’ll likely see it becoming heavily adopted in WebVR.
We’ve started the countdown to the release of 0.5.0 looking to solve some long-standing WebVR polyfill issues once and for all.
Great, lovely, terrific, fantastic news. glTF model support has landed in A-Frame #webvr
