The VR Dudes took a tour through the salons of Minerva with ‘wick’, the curator for the exhibition, and one of the artists, ‘Alusion’. This episode presents Minerva as a digital visual space in virtual reality, where people are able to interact with the artwork as well as with each other, with or without a head mounted display.

[BUILD] Markup Language: Intro to JML
JanusVR is essentially a web browser. Like most web browsers, content is defined through a “markup language” stored within an html file.
The JanusVR Markup Language (JML) is the basis for most three dimensional webspaces in JanusVR. By simply adding the JanusVR Markup Language to any document and then visiting that document in JanusVR, you can transform it into a rich 3D environment.
