hey! after seeing some discussion on the yesterweb discord about some old web browser that allowed you to walk through a virtual 3D mall in order to discover new sites, i was motivated to try to make something similar in VR! the VR social platform neos allows for hyperlinks and http requests in its in-game scripting language (called logix), so i think that it would be the ideal platform for something like this. i'd like to focus on showcasing neocities-hosted websites in particular for now, just because neocities automatically generates thumbnails and they're really easy to scrape.
i was able to make a script using logix that can grab the thumbnail and title of a neocities website from its URL and display it in-world as a clickable billboard, so i think this idea would be possible!
however, i have zero architectural 3D modeling skills, so actually making a virtual mall is way outside of my skillset unfortunately. is there anyone here who's able to 3D model buildings and such and would be willing to provide some help for this project? i'd love for this to become a
(virtual) reality!
