The dream of three-dimensional cyberspace was imagined decades ago in a world that did not yet have the available technology to realize it. Meanwhile, a different kind of interactive world was forming in the World Wide Web, and web developers have been unlocking its potential ever since. There’s an important lesson in history catching up with us, one fundamental to all interactive worlds (not just the web), with the possibility of redefining the trajectory of the metaverse’s technological future. In this article I talk about a new open source library I’ve created – HyperShape – that implemented 3D worlds in a fundamentally different way and what my discoveries were when making it.
