Not on the current edition
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar Understand more

We first mentioned Three.js in the Radar in Assess back in 2017. Since then, this 3D rendering library for the web has evolved and improved rapidly. The standard WebGL APIs have improved, and Three.js has added support for WebXR, turning it into a viable tool for creating immersive experiences. At the same time, browser support for 3D rendering and WebXR device APIs has improved, making the web an increasingly attractive platform for 3D content. Although there are other 3D rendering libraries, our teams have come to prefer Three.js, especially when paired with React Three Fiber to abstract away some of the low-level details. We've found that developers still need to be conscious of performance issues and will sometimes need to restructure data to optimize rendering speed.

Assess ?

Despite the fervor surrounding the spate of new headsets, we believe there are many VR and AR scenarios that make sense in the browser, particularly on mobile. Given this trend, we have seen an uptick in usage of Three.js, a powerful JavaScript visualization and 3D rendering framework. The growth in support for WebGL, which it is based on, has helped adoption, as has the vibrant community supporting this open source project.
