You've probably seen Meta's Hyperscape — the app that lets you walk through photorealistic 3D scans of real places. It looks incredible. But it's a closed system. You can only access it through their app. You don't get the files. You can't embed it. You can't share it outside Meta's ecosystem.

I wanted to build something that does the same thing — but open. Any device. Anywhere. Just a link.

What it does:

• Open a link on your Quest → you're standing inside a real captured space
• Walk around with full VR locomotion — not just looking around, actually moving through the space
• Teleport to different points in the scene
• Collision detection — you can't walk through walls or furniture, it feels real
• Snap turning for smooth navigation
• Same link works on your phone, laptop, tablet — any device with a browser

What surprised me:

• Quest browser handles it better than expected — the bottleneck is GPU, not the browser
• The same URL works everywhere — no separate VR build, no "VR version"
• WebXR is solid enough for real experiences, not just demos

How it compares to Hyperscape:

• Hyperscape: Closed ecosystem, app only → This: Open, any browser
• Hyperscape: Quest 3/3S only → This: Any device
• Hyperscape: No access to your files → This: Your files, your server

Try it on your Quest:

1. Open the browser on your Quest
2. Go to: https://mirador3d.com/en/v/tufia-test
3. Click the VR button
4. You're standing in a village in Gran Canaria
5. Use the controller to teleport and walk around

Same link works on your phone if you don't have a headset handy. Happy to answer questions.

• WebXR is solid enough for real experiences, not just demos
• You can embed the scene in any website with an iframe — share it like a YouTube video

How it compares to Hyperscape:

• Hyperscape: Closed ecosystem, app only → This: Open, any browser
• Hyperscape: Quest 3/3S only → This: Any device
• Hyperscape: US only → This: Global
• Hyperscape: No access to your files → This: Your files, your server
• Hyperscape: No embedding → This: Embed anywhere with an iframe
• Hyperscape: No teleport, no collisions → This: Full locomotion with collision detection

I'm not saying this is better than Hyperscape. Meta has thousands of engineers and unlimited resources. But the fact that you can do this through a browser — walk through a real space in VR with teleport and collisions, on any device, just by clicking a link — that surprised me.
