AFrame - Building virtual reality experiences in the browser

We're back with a new meetup! MaltaJS community is glad to announce the next meeting at the Royal Malta Yacht Club in Ta'Xbiex, were Yannis Gravezas will speak about A-Frame.

What is A-Frame?

A-Frame is a framework for developing 3D and virtual reality applications. It builds on top of the native functionality provided by web components to enable developers to create virtual worlds using markup. In this presentation, we'll get hands-on with it and explain concepts like scene graphs as well as the entity component mechanism that comes bundled with the framework.
