Draw a floor plan in 2D, then instantly view it in immersive VR in your Meta Quest Headset.
2D edits appear in VR in real time.
Built with @aframevr @threejs. Everything running in the browser.

Huge gratitude to aframe-troika-text for the open source code that made this possible!

We made scale drawing for today's partial eclipse.
Just in case anyone wanted a visual reminder just how large, and very, very far away the Sun is!
You can view (or copy and edit) the drawing yourself here:

The most popular requests have been for features that we'd already implemented (but our users hadn't been able to find).
So we've added a right-click menu so our most powerful features are just a single click away!

Now it's something you can DIY for less than $35...
