02 - Writing a VR physics simulation in 10 minutes

[@imaginingPhysics]

Thanks for adding the VR part!

Thanks for the video, but I think it should be focus in the simulation techniques. The VR just make it more complicated and does not give you any extra.

Adding this.visMesh.castShadow = true; after the creation of the ball visMesh adds shadows to the ball and makes it look more interesting :) Thanks Mathias this is awesome :)

Hi Matthias. Thanks for your amazing contributions. I tried your demo, but it won't work. I'm using Chrome and Java is enabled.

Anyone get this working on Firefox?

[@sim6084]

yes. It works on ffox also.

@@sim6084 I just checked again and it's working for me! Weird. The other day, neither the site's demo's nor my code was renderering 3D. Maybe a computer restart or FF restart fixed it?

These videos are really nice. I think you made a great decision to use javascript too. It's obviously not the best language for computationally intensive stuff, but it's highly accessible, which is exactly what you want when the subject matter is intimidating. Hoping you can reach a nice audience.
