Javascript web browser for AR, VR, and WebGL sites
npm install niltree
Exokit Browser is a brand new post-screen web browser written in JavaScript as a Node module. It supports WebGL, WebVR, Magic Leap and other mixed reality hardware, and also supports vintage keyboard and mouse. And it's faster and lower latency than Chrome and Firefox in many cases, since it does less (Exokit doesn't render HTML).
The core is Javascript, so changing the browser is just like changing a site. The rest is native OpenGL and the usual libraries.
Exokit runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Exokit can't render HTML, but it _can_ draw Canvas and WebGL -- natively, and fast -- as well as take keyboard/mouse/mixed reality input with the regular APIs. It's a browser for the post-(2D) world.
Think JSDOM, except it _actually runs_ the DOM in a window. Or think Electron, except 300k and no compile step. Or, think an emulator for running web sites.
The multimedia parts (e.g. WebGL) are pluggable native modules. Everything else is Javascript. It's pretty easy to experiment and add new Web APIs.
Exokit runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
What Exokit can do:
- Load any https: site
- Parse a programmatic DOM
- Run any
