Beautiful! Serra's sculptures struck me at a very young age and made me very aware of the acoustics of space as a sculptural phenomenon so important to an impactful experience.

Another #WebXR scene that I designed was inspired by the work of Richard Serra and James Turrell. I've always loved the grace and scale of Serra's curves and wanted to see how they could be amplified with some Turrell-style lighting and color.

The most undervalued technology on the Web is #WebXR.

Two years ago, getting a 3DOF WebXR experience to run at 30FPS was a nightmare. Now WebXR is running at 6DOF, 90fps, >72hz refresh rate, and GLTF has been integrated into every major 3D modeling software.
