8th Wall

8th Wall is the AI-native 3D engine to build interactive 3D & XR apps in-browser. Now open source and community-led.

[Filippo Aleotti @AleottiFilippo]

Inspired by the amazing work of @XRarchitect, I played around with a little AR demo: a window into another place.

Splatted with @Scaniverse, tracked with @the8thwall SLAM, and rendered on the phone with @sparkjsdev .

App-less AR.
Real-time refraction, dispersion, and caustics.
Japanese traditional glass craftsmanship, brought to life directly in the smartphone browser.

20 million Gaussian splat of SF running all on a mobile device in WebAR. It’s really fun to move the phone around to zoom into different streets. Crazy to see the amount of detail in this scan

Threejs + 8th Wall (now open source) + sparkjs

After our announcement about winding down 8th Wall, we want to share more on what comes next.

We’ve posted a high-level update on the transition roadmap including how we'll distribute the engine, what we'll open source, and more. This is meant to help with planning, not to final list.

[8th Wall @the8thwall]

8th Wall will begin winding down next year after seven incredible years building with this community.

We want to be clear, nothing changes today. Hosted projects will stay online through Feb 28, 2027, giving creators plenty of time to plan ahead.

We’re also working to open source key parts of the platform so the technology can continue to support developers into the future.

Thank you for building with us.

🎮 Script motion that still feels real.

With kinematic bodies in Studio Runtime v2.0.0, you can set an object’s path and keep it colliding with the world.

Think Mario-style moving platforms, elevators, or patrol paths that react naturally.
