Currently physics remain passive by watching objects falls, changing gravity.

Using the new Rapier example one can apply impulse, e.g.

document.querySelector("a-torus-knot").components["rapier-body"].body.applyImpulse({ x: 1.0, y: -1.0, z: 0.0 }, true)

but the impulse value could be based on hand positions to make a virtual bow or virtual slingshot with 2nd hand as ring to aim.

Example of more interactive experience

  • slider to change gravity, range going from 0.01 to 100, enough to encompass the 3 following values
  • 3 well known notches to snap on that slider (potentially hidden initially) e.g. Mars, Moon, Earth
  • switching to those specific positions change the environment accordingly, not just gravity

environments :

  • red ground orange sky
  • gray ground black sky with visible green/blue sphere
  • green ground and blue with visible gray sphere

Issues that do not have to be finished by the end of that NGI0 project but could be for follow-up
 Instance setup
Help the network of federated server grow.
Meta-data experience management
Experiences are done within a pedagogical context and thus keep tracking, even if entirely privately, of what has been completed or not should foster better learning.
 Process audits from NLNet network

Contribution, hosting, issues, etc
 Remixing
Remixing infrastructure for pedagogical immersive experiences
 Review pending
Strategic examples
Seeding examples to facilitate remixing, covering the broadest scope of what is both technically feasible and pedagogically impactful.
