Description

A-Frame is an open-source web framework for building virtual reality experiences. It is maintained by developers from Supermedium and Google. A-Frame is an entity component system framework for Three.js where developers can create 3D and WebVR scenes using HTML. In A-Frame, components modify entities which are 3D objects in the scene. We mix and compose components together to build complex objects. They let us encapsulate three. js and JavaScript code into modules that we can use declaratively from HTML. Numerous developers have created their own custom components for A-Frame that can easily be installed through NPM or directly in browser.
