Description of the problem

Hello, I couldn't find any information on the future of this project. Is it still alive?

No, GoPro fired all the people who were working on the project. Sorry about that.

Is anybody continuing this project?

Yes, some people have forked the repo and maintained it for their own projects. There is a great chance that the code will be published any time soon.

Dear Rafarel, thank you for this good news. Is there anything we could do to encourage an update? I am especially interested in the compatibility with WebXR and Oculus. Many thanks in advance for any information.

Hi @uwe22 and @kalitine , I am part of the team quoted by @Rafarel. We are working on this project and will publish a maintained version in coming months hopefullly. What are your expectation about a possible fork of ForgeJS ?

Dear sgamet-vrtice!

thank you for your kind update.

ForgeJS is a very great tool. I used it for teaching interactive VR media and I made some content. I would like to move to content creation for immersive VR or the WEBXR browser.

In the short term, I would be extremely happy if I could display the existing content in my VR Helmet Oculus Quest in immersive view with the built in browser. So far it is only possible to view the content in a large browser. I also added this info to github

https://lab3d.kw.ac.kr/vr/ https://lab3d.kw.ac.kr/vr/

In the long term I am looking for a solution where I could merge or find some bridges between ForgeJS, Blender, Armory3D and Mozilla Hubs. I would also like to integrate this inside the E-learning software H5P which I use for my classes.

If there is anything I can do for helping or cheering you up, please let me know!

Very happy new year!

Hi @uwe22 ,

For now we are not focusing on HMD consumption. I hope it will come. BTW I'll let you know when we'll drop an update :)

Cheers

Best greetings, any updates maybe?

stereo3d avatar Aug 27 '21 11:08 stereo3d

Hello @uwe22 , sorry I did not answer when you post your last message. We're still working on ForgeJS, but we're not focusing on HMD for the moment. We've got a lot to do before adressing this part.

sgamet-vrtice avatar Jan 13 '22 09:01 sgamet-vrtice

It is super nice to read that you still maintained it. Thanks for the work so far.

Happy New Year! Please cheer up and please keep us updated!

Please do not give up this project. Thanks for the work so far.

stereo3d avatar May 22 '22 04:05 stereo3d

We did not give up @uwe22 ! Still working on this part.... slower than expected as usual !

sgamet-vrtice avatar May 30 '22 07:05 sgamet-vrtice

@sgamet-vrtice hoping you are well. Could you please let us know how the project is doing? Many thanks in advance.

stereo3d avatar Oct 12 '22 05:10 stereo3d

Hi @stereo3d !

thanks for reaching out. We made some improvements, but not related to VR / HMD features. We've worked for people that mainly have no interest in HMD unfortunately.

What do you expect from the "next" forgejs ?

sgamet-vrtice avatar Oct 17 '22 12:10 sgamet-vrtice

Happy New Year @sgamet-vrtice It would be so wonderful to be able to use ForgeJS with a HMD and WEBXR for VR. The immersive experience and logic is all there.
