Making the internet 3D and interactive (again)

Origin of our project: HfK–Virtual-Spaces, was the need and curiosity for an adequate counterpart to physical art or design exhibitions as well as a virtual representation for music concerts or performances at our University of the Arts. To achieve this we improved the connection of Blender and the web-based 3D-platform Hubs which can provide interactive 3D-worlds in almost any modern browser. Interactivity was implemented using behavior-graph nodes in Blender. A node-based solution to tackle gamelogic for everybody who wants to use Blender to create interactive 3D worlds. Be it for art-exhibitions, virtual (live) concerts, teaching sessions, or many more.
