Where every webpage can become a world.
The Immersive Web SDK makes building immersive web experiences as approachable as traditional web development. It's a complete collection of frameworks and tools built on Three.js with a high-performance Entity Component System, developer-first workflow with one-command setup and built-in emulation, and production-ready systems for grab interactions, locomotion, spatial audio, physics, and scene understanding.
Same code, two experiences: Run immersively in VR/AR headsets and automatically provide mouse-and-keyboard emulation on desktop browsers. No browser extensions, no special setup—anyone with a laptop can develop for the immersive web.

# Use the pinned Node major, install dependencies, and build workspace packages
nvm use
corepack pnpm@10.18.3 run bootstrap
# Build all packages as tgz files (for examples to consume)
npm run build:tgz
# Run an example (fresh install from local tgz packages)
cd examples/locomotion && npm run fresh:dev
# Lint and format
corepack pnpm@10.18.3 run lint
corepack pnpm@10.18.3 run format
# Build a specific package
corepack pnpm@10.18.3 --filter @iwsdk/core buildbootstrap is also the repair command for a partial or stale source build. It
uses the lockfile, builds packages in dependency order, and generates WebXR
input profiles from the pinned npm asset package instead of making a separate
CDN request. Run corepack pnpm@10.18.3 run doctor for environment, proxy, and
generated-output checks.
For a network-restricted checkout whose pnpm store is already warm, use
corepack pnpm@10.18.3 run bootstrap:offline. Initial dependency installation
still needs registry access (and honors standard npm/pnpm proxy configuration),
but subsequent profile generation and builds are offline-safe. A directory-linked
@iwsdk/cli now keeps a stable launcher; if its dist is missing, it prints the
exact package build command instead of leaving a broken executable link.
The examples use file: dependencies pointing to .tgz files built from local packages. This simulates how end-users will consume the packages from npm.
npm run build:tgz- Builds all packages in dependency order and creates.tgzarchivesnpm run fresh:dev(in example) - Cleansnode_modules, reinstalls from tgz files, and starts dev server
This ensures examples always test against the latest local build.
