Code breaks, fix it faster

Crashes, slowdowns, regressions in prod. Seer by Sentry unifies traces, replays, errors, profiles to find root causes fast.

Get started

Largely based on Free Association in the Metaverse - Avaer @Exokit - M3, Avaer will demo some of the ways that open standards enable open and free traversal of users and assets throughout the interconnected metaverse.

This workshop has been presented at JS GameDev Summit 2022, check out the latest edition of this JavaScript Conference.

FAQ

The project leverages the universality of web technologies, ensuring that the virtual worlds it creates are accessible on any device with a web browser, promoting inclusivity and wide accessibility.

The main goal is to demonstrate what's possible for open virtual worlds on the web, showcasing the integration and functionality achievable using browser-based technologies.

The project aims to address skepticism and controversy around the Metaverse by demonstrating the positive potential and benefits of open virtual worlds, trying to convince users that the Metaverse can be good.

The project utilizes browser-based technologies, open source tooling, JavaScript for asset loading, and integrates various APIs for enhanced functionality in creating virtual worlds and experiences.

Exokit is a browser written by the speaker, designed to explore the capabilities of web technologies in running advanced applications like virtual worlds, directly influencing the development of this Metaverse project.

Yes, assets from different sources including IPFS, GitHub, and even NFTs can be integrated into the virtual world using standard web browser APIs and JavaScript, showcasing the flexibility and openness of the platform.

Totem is a system developed within the project that uses templating and intelligent code generation to facilitate the loading of 3D assets from URLs, effectively allowing easy asset integration and management in the virtual environment.

The future development aims to include more advanced features like AI integration, multiplayer support, and continuous improvement on asset interoperability, striving to create an immersive and dynamic virtual world experience.

Workshop
Gustavo Cordido
Gustavo Cordido
In this workshop, we'll introduce you to the core concepts of building Mixed Reality experiences with WebXR and Balon.js.
You'll learn the following:- How to add 3D mesh objects and buttons to a scene- How to use procedural textures- How to add actions to objects- How to take advantage of the default Cross Reality (XR) experience- How to add physics to a scene
For the first project in this workshop, you'll create an interactive Mixed Reality experience that'll display basketball player stats to fans and coaches. For the second project in this workshop, you'll create a voice activated WebXR app using Balon.js and Azure Speech-to-Text. You'll then deploy the web app using Static Website Hosting provided Azure Blob Storage.

Will Eastcott
CEO & co-founder of PlayCanvas
PlayCanvas is an open-source game engine used by game developers worldwide. Optimization is crucial for HTML5 games, focusing on load times and frame rate. Texture and mesh optimization can significantly reduce download sizes. GLTF and GLB formats offer smaller file sizes and faster parsing times. Compressing game resources and using efficient file formats can improve load times. Framerate optimization and resolution scaling are important for better performance. Managing draw calls and using batching techniques can optimize performance. Browser DevTools, such as Chrome and Firefox, are useful for debugging and profiling. Detecting device performance and optimizing based on specific devices can improve game performance. Apple is making progress with WebGPU implementation. HTML5 games can be shipped to the App Store using Cordova.

The Talk discusses ways to boost the performance of WebGL Unity games, including issues with bundle size, memory usage, and runtime performance. It suggests using Brotli for compression and non-exception support for better performance. Choosing the appropriate texture compression format and experimenting with separate builds can also help. The Talk also covers optimizing textures, models, audio, and assets by reducing build size, using compression, disabling unnecessary models, and optimizing audio quality. Unity's optimization tools and profilers are recommended for analyzing performance and memory issues.

The Talk discusses the use of the canvas element in games and web applications to improve performance. It compares the Canvas API and WebGL API, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. The Canvas API allows for both CPU and GPU rendering, while WebGL API only uses GPU and hardware acceleration. Using the canvas element can significantly enhance performance, but it comes with increased complexity and development costs.
