Review GLAM #19

Closed sirkitree closed 9 years ago

sirkitree commented 9 years ago

Just came across this project today: https://github.com/tparisi/glam

This takes care of building scenes, and I'm wondering if instead of utilizing XML, this project could read GLAM. I'm hoping maybe you could provide insight after looking at the GLAM project if this is feasible or not.

From my perspective, it seem this approach might free you up to concentrate on the server and multi-user capabilities and allow the creation of scenes to be handled by GLAM. But I'm also quite ignorant of the technicals of either system at this point.

I've been following glam and have looked at the demos and the markup. I hadn't discovered it when I started work on scenevr, otherwise I might have used it for the rendering. I'm probably going to integrate a bunch of things from glam. The way they use css to style elements is great (eg style="color: blue" instead of color="blue"), and if it would be possible to replace a bunch of the code in connector.coffee and just use glam to render the scene, that'd be great.

Currently missing from the glam renderer:

You've raised a good point though, and I'll say hi to Tony, replacing the current xml -> scene renderer with glam would be great.

:+1: This is excellent news. I'm glad I wasn't totally off base here. Thank you for the thoughtful response. I look forward to seeing if anything comes of this and trying to help more (been busy building in Janus lately).
