A-Frame

A-Frame is an open-source web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences that run directly in web browsers. It uses HTML-like syntax with custom elements to create 3D and VR scenes, abstracting away the complexity of WebGL and WebXR APIs. It is built on top of Three.js and is widely used for creating immersive web-based VR content.

Also known as: Aframe, A Frame, A-Frame VR, A-Frame Framework, AFRAME

Why learn A-Frame?

Developers should learn A-Frame when they need to create browser-based VR experiences without deep 3D graphics expertise, as it simplifies VR development with a declarative HTML approach. It is ideal for educational projects, marketing demos, and interactive web applications that require immersive 3D or VR elements, leveraging the accessibility of the web platform.
