Intro to Virtual Reality

Discover 3D worlds and learn to build your own

What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual Reality (VR) puts you inside a 3D world you can explore and interact with. From gaming to education to art - VR is changing how we experience digital content.

One Block, Instant World

Drag the Scene block, pick an environment, and you have a complete 3D world ready to explore!

Customizable

Add a sky color, enable physics for gravity, and control lighting - all with simple settings.

Understanding 3D Space

In VR, every object has a position defined by three numbers: X, Y, and Z. Drag to move X/Y, use the slider or scroll wheel for Z!

Drag for X/Y, scroll for Z
X = Left / Right
Y = Up / Down
Z = Forward / Back
Position: 0, 1, -3
(or scroll on canvas)
Remember
In A-Frame VR, negative Z moves objects away from you. The camera starts at Y=1.6 (average eye height in meters).

Building with Shape Blocks

BlocksVR gives you 3D shape blocks to build with. Select a shape and adjust its properties to see how block parameters work!
