*Find more examples on [the homepage](https://aframe.io), [A Week of A-Frame](https://aframe.io/blog/), and [WebVR Directory](https://webvr.directory).* ## Features :eyeglasses: **Virtual Reality Made Simple**: A-Frame handles the 3D and WebXR boilerplate required to get running across platforms including mobile, desktop, and all headsets (compatible with a WebXR capable browser) just by dropping in ``. :heart: **Declarative HTML**: HTML is easy to read and copy-and-paste. Since A-Frame can be used from HTML, A-Frame is accessible to everyone: web developers, VR and AR enthusiasts, educators, artists, makers, kids. :electric_plug: **Entity-Component Architecture**: A-Frame is a powerful framework on top of three.js, providing a declarative, composable, reusable entity-component structure for three.js. While A-Frame can be used from HTML, developers have unlimited access to JavaScript, DOM APIs, three.js, WebXR, and WebGL. :zap: **Performance**: A-Frame is a thin framework on top of three.js. Although A-Frame uses the DOM, A-Frame does not touch the browser layout engine. Performance is a top priority, being battle-tested on highly interactive WebXR experiences. :globe_with_meridians: **Cross-Platform**: Build VR and AR applications for any headset compatible with a WebXR capable browser. Don't have a headset or controllers? No problem! A-Frame still works on standard desktop and smartphones. :mag: **Visual Inspector**: A-Frame provides a built-in visual 3D inspector with a workflow similar to a browser's developer tools and interface similar to Unity. Open up any A-Frame scene and hit ` + + i`. :runner: **Features**: Hit the ground running with A-Frame's built-in components such as geometries, materials, lights, animations, models, raycasters, shadows, positional audio, tracked controllers. Get even further with community components such as particle systems, physics, multiuser, oceans, mountains, speech recognition, or teleportation! ## Usage ### Example Build VR and AR scenes in the browser with just a few lines of HTML! To start playing and publishing now, remix the starter example on: [![Remix](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/674727/24572421/688f7fc0-162d-11e7-8a35-b02bc050c043.jpg)](https://glitch.com/~aframe) [![Fork](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/39342/52831020-d42dcb80-3087-11e9-833f-2d6191c69eb9.png)](https://repl.it/@dmarcos/aframe) ```html

``` With A-Frame's [entity-component architecture](https://aframe.io/docs/1.5.0/introduction/entity-component-system.html), we can drop in community components from the ecosystem (e.g., ocean, physics) and plug them into our objects straight from HTML: [![Remix](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/674727/24572421/688f7fc0-162d-11e7-8a35-b02bc050c043.jpg)](https://glitch.com/~aframe-registry) [![Fork](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/39342/52831020-d42dcb80-3087-11e9-833f-2d6191c69eb9.png)](https://repl.it/@dmarcos/aframe) ```html
