Open Spatial Lab

What it shows

• A player lobby and launcher.
• Three worlds built with Three.js: Location A, Location B and Denver Skyport.
• Portals between them, with the player's state carried across.
• Player avatars with gear you choose.
• Two opt-in renderers on the X3D path, ?renderer=x3dom and ?renderer=x_ite; three.js stays the default. On both X3D renderers the avatars stand still, holding their rest pose, and the airport has nobody in it: no travellers or staff. The lab's renderer page gives the reasons.
• A soft-body physics world on the X3D path.
• Web of Worlds protocol proofs, a conformance runner and browser checks.

Run it yourself

The repository runs on your own computer with Node.js 22 and one launch command, or as one container. Its README has the steps. Issues and pull requests are welcome there. The commit history lists every change.
