Nice !! Please check out Spectra City if you are not alread aware they are a fully CC0 project built for WebGL (WebXR), although I think for now they started on a platform called Spatial.io & my impression is they are closely tied to the real built environment or proposed so as in a way for the local community to active participate on a new city block restoration project as an example.

I have to say I'm confused by this. After looking through their website I do not really understand what Spectra City is about or how I can get involved.
> Spectra is a cross-platform, open-source community where physical placemakers and virtual worldbuilders come together to create sustainable, human-centered, and technologically progressive urbanization.

How can it be any less obvious what Spectra is. Haha.

I feel genuinely insane trying to parse this site. It's a miracle that there's no mention of Web3.
Oh I just assumed this was all on the blockchain.
You guys are a little behind. Web3 is dropping the Metaverse and moving on to AI now.
I just assumed the blockchain was created by AI.
> built for WebGL (WebXR)

Seems it's built mainly for spatial.io which has WebXR support but also native apps for iOS, Android and Quest.

(I say this because the performance is probably better on the native apps)
