Craft immersive XR educational experiences through declarative 3D rendering with this advanced workshop. Leverage React Three Fiber's component-based architecture to build a gamified solar system explorer featuring dynamic orbital mechanics, interactive raycasting, and WebGL optimizations. Master performance-critical techniques including InstancedMesh implementation, reactive state management, and WebXR integration while creating engaging STEM visualizations. This workshop bridges theoretical physics concepts with practical front-end development, demonstrating how Three.js can transform educational content through spatial computing paradigms.

Agenda:

  1. Introduction to React Three Fiber and Three.js: Setting up the project environment
  2. Building the Solar System Scene: Creating planets, orbits, and space backgrounds with animations
  3. Interactivity and Gamification: Raycasting for object selection and interaction
  4. Performance Optimization: Using InstancedMesh for efficient rendering
  5. WebXR Integration: Enabling AR/VR experiences in the browser
