Imagine walking with a AR glass and seeing some sats on the street and picking them up with your lightning wallet.
Imagine entering a VR experience by just going to a website and putting your VR headset up. And playing a game and when you out away your headset you have the sats in your lightning wallet.
Imagine entering a nostr VR website with your get alby or nostr pubkey and experiencing virtual 3d notes.
Enter WebXR.
I put my Oculus 2 once up and used the browser to visit this website.

It had serveral experiences where it showed me how to use the controllers, how to grab things etc.
For this you need a VR headset to experience what I experienced. It won’t work well on your phone.
I believe there is a future where you log in with nostr, a getably wallet or plugin or your lightning wallet. Or all three.
You will be able to transact, pay, receive money and gamyfy any experience.
What do you think?
Who is working on this?
Is there any way to integrate webXr with lightning? These are all api calls so it must be possible.
Are there any webxr websites that i can visit with my nostr, getalby or lightning wallet and experience anything?
Last thing: when you put your headset on “everything” is possible. If you can buy “everything” with sats that would be cool!!!
You can buy a 3 d bag, a car, anything digital. I say lets bring in the sats!!!

In the link above you see some of the websites.
Some have games. All are web based.
https://www.xrdinosaurs.com/
Here is one site you can visit to see a dinosaur.
So I think if your alby wallet can help you navigate these sites and you can actually spend something in the website it can be done. Because you got your alby with you.
Will keep exploring.
Thanks

Yesterday I went to webxr link and opened my browser on the Oculus Quest 2.
I was able to enter these 3d websites. I played a mini golf game. And I saw some dinosaurs.
So you can interact in these games with your environment.
It should also be possible to add the alby wallet to the browser in the Oculus Quest 2. There is a Firefix Mozilla browser in the Oculus Quest. I did not see a chrome browser, but I will check.
What amazes me is that simply via a webbrowser you can run these games. This means that everybody can create these games on their website.
I looks like there is a game engine in the browser.
I wonder if you can use gaming engines like Unity to create webxr environments and deploy it on a website?

Update: you can use Unity to build a WebXR scene.
This guy is showing how to build it.
And he also talks about integrating WebXR with Ethereum in one of his future videos.
So I’m excited that this can akso be done with bitcoin and lightning.
Here is the video about setting up WebXR in Unity.

Here is the specification: https://www.w3.org/TR/webxr/
I invite getalby @Alby and other web browsers to check this out. Also people programming on lightning.
It would be cool if we could enter these 3d spaces with alby or lightning or nostr.

Looks like something that could implement WebLN and seamless integration to Bitcoin with Alby. We can't create such a tool nor learn another technology - but we do our best to facilitate lightning actions on the web, for other builders!
