    Neat, would be great to have it in WebXR with hand tracking, imagining 2 modes :

    - AR where the machine can be put on your desk, next to documents

    - VR where the machine is in context, e.g. a 3D model of German Naval Signals HQ in Guernsey, eventually stepping back to a broader context.

      This is such a great idea. I didn't know about WebXR before reading your comment, and was delighted to see that this is a relatively easy thing to implement. I need to find some VR goggles to borrow so I can test this out, but I'll optimistically push out an update within the next day with the WebXR update.
