Site — Docs — School — Slack — Blog — awesome-aframe

Features

👓 Virtual reality made simple: A-Frame handles the 3D and WebVR boilerplate required to get running across platforms including mobile, desktop, Vive, and Rift just by dropping in <a-scene>.

❤️ Declarative HTML: A-Frame is accessible to all developers due to its easy-to-read and copy-and-pastable HTML.

⚙ Entity-component pattern: A-Frame is a powerful framework for three.js, providing an declarative, composable, reusable entity-component architecture.

🔨 Tool agnostic: A-Frame interoperates beautifully with JavaScript DOM APIs and most libraries such as React, Vue.js, Angular, or d3.js.

🔍 Visual Inspector: A-Frame provides a built-in visual inspector that acts just like your browser's DevTools; open up a scene and hit <ctrl> + <alt> + i.

📦 Registry: A-Frame has a Registry, a curated component repository similar to the Unity Asset Store. Install some components and use them right from your HTML.
