Remember when Flash ruled the web, and you could build mind-bending interactive experiences without battling WebGL shaders, fighting scene graph hierarchies, or summoning dark forces to debug matrix transformations? Good times. 



Now, 3D web development is back—with WebXR, Three.js, and WebGPU leading the charge—but where’s the tooling to match?


In this talk, we’ll explore how modern devs can reclaim the golden age of interactive 3D without losing their sanity, diving into the pain points of today’s workflows and the solutions that are making immersive development fun again.

This talk has been presented at JSNation 2025, check out the latest edition of this JavaScript Conference.

Video transcription, chapters and summary will be available later.

I work as a front-end developer with experience in 3D tasks using WebGL and 3DS framework. Let's explore virtual reality and WebXR, which allows full immersion in a digital environment. In VR, we can explore virtual worlds, move and rotate within them, interact with objects, and even use VR for education. AR, augmented reality, is different from VR as it allows you to see the real world while also overlaying virtual objects. XR reality encompasses both VR and AR, and it's already a standard with good browser support.

This Talk discusses exploring AR Tryon with React Native, implementing AR try-on experiences in e-commerce apps, and considerations for AR development. It also covers the integration of AR platforms like ARKit and ARCore with React Native using the Duvero bridge. The Talk highlights the use of off-the-shelf solutions like Wanna's SDK for virtual try-on and Snap's AR technology and shopping extension. The importance of creating 3D models for AR Try-On and the challenges of writing native code for AR development are also mentioned.

Today's Talk explores the lessons that video games can teach us about building virtual teams. The impact of communication on software development is discussed, highlighting the importance of understanding software for successful deployment. The concept of collective intelligence is introduced, emphasizing the role of social perceptiveness, cognitive diversity, and equal distribution of communication. The Talk also emphasizes the need to optimize team performance with key metrics and suggests keeping teams small and cross-functional to enable easy communication and lower cognitive loads.

The Talk provides an introduction to React 360, a JavaScript framework created by Facebook for building 3D and VR user interfaces on top of React. It simplifies the creation of complex UI and leverages the familiar concepts and tools of React and React Native. The folder structure includes a static assets folder for media files, a client.js file for creating locations and surfaces, and an index file as the main file. The code structure is similar to React Native and React, using Flexbox for styling. The application can be run on a web browser or any VR device, and includes features like slides, video layer, and customizable background image.
