AltspaceVR is an social VR app/platform founded by Eric Romo, Gavan Wilhite and David Gudmundson in 2013. Its communication software allows users to share content and experiences. Users can participate in various activities such as browse the web, watch videos, play games and attend events in 3D virtual environments. AltspaceVR will allow developers to create their own content with javascript and three.js and convert pre-existing 2D javascript content into 3D virtual worlds with minimal changes.
