VR on the web

Brian is an employee at Rockstars IT and is involved in virtual reality prototyping.

The prototyping process begins with initial sketches on whiteboards or paper. Then, Brian creates a cardboard or paper prototype using Arduino, and also utilizes Blender for further prototyping. When it comes to converting the prototype to a web-based format, Brian suggests using the HTML canvas element or the Three.js JavaScript library.

To generate (3D) avatars, Brian uses a service called Ready Player Me, a third-party software that generates avatars based on a user's picture. This tool can be helpful for creating personalized virtual representations.

Furthermore, Brian explains the significance of the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocol in real-time applications, such as video games. UDP sends packets continuously, irrespective of whether they reach the destination or when they do so. This constant transmission is beneficial for maintaining real-time interaction. I didn't really get this part but he seemed passionate about it :)
