Hey everyone, it's been a while and we have some unfortunate news 😕 The Third Room team was recently laid off and the project is currently on pause. It's been a wild ride, and we're really proud of what we've built. 1/x

The project itself will stay up and open source on the @matrixdotorg GitHub. The thirdroom.io homeserver will also continue to be hosted. It's always been designed around resiliency and always has been truly decentralized so it's not dependent on our homeserver.
The development on the project will be paused and the team is all taking a break while we figure out next steps for the project. Thank you everyone for your support!

Join Worlds in VR or Passthrough AR! We've built out a hybrid experience in this air traffic control simulator world where you can join the same world in VR, AR, as well as on desktop with keyboard and mouse.
Here’s a small peek at a Passthrough AR demo we made using Third Room’s upcoming WebSceneGraph API! All of the live data is being published into a Matrix room and read by the script to render flight paths in real time! Soon everyone will be able to write their own scripts!
Third Room gets its name from Third Places. One of our goals has always been to help people create community spaces. Virtual worlds that are truly yours to create and live in.
This reddit post isn't about VRChat but I feel it summarizes the importance of VRC so well. Why VRC is significant to so many people and why VRC solves a fundamental problem in society that truly needs solving. Social VR is ideal for creating Third Places.
