Open arthurmougin opened 1 year ago
I have to speak up on this one. Despite the security concerns, which I admit I don't fully understand. Not having the ability to link from one immersive page to another, while stayng immersed, even across different domains seems like such a no brainer that I have trouble getting why it wasn't just a basic requirement in the WebXR spec. Anyway, what ever the reason may be, I would have created the metaverse myself by now if it were not for this single limitation! I do joke, but I had to give up many different design decissions, in the past when it worked with deprecated WebVR, because of this idea breaking limitation. Let's make this incredibly powerful capability just a standard. Or again, whatever, just make it work!
I believe it's a red line that technical managers or executives may have drawn in order to protect the future of their proprietary closed platforms. An open, functional, and popular virtual reality web has the potential to reduce the profits of stores like Meta's.
It's a shame. Having a common open platform for shared virtual spaces and software is intrinsic to the idea of the Metaverse. Greed works directly against this as all Metaverse platforms are kept under control of individual companies, which dramatically limits their reach. The web would be a natural place for the Metaverse to flourish if not for this greed and lack of foresight.
