## What it is
Hubs is an open-source, browser-based multi-user 3D virtual world and social VR platform built with A-Frame, Three.js, and WebXR/WebRTC. It lets anyone create and share 3D rooms via a URL, with voice and text chat, avatars, and media sharing across desktop, mobile, and VR headsets.

## Use cases
- host virtual events or meetups in a 3D space
- teach classes in a virtual classroom
- showcase 3D art in a browser-based gallery
- build custom social VR experiences with WebXR
- self-host a metaverse platform for my community
- collaborate remotely with friends in a shared 3D room

## When to choose
- you want a no-install, browser-accessible multi-user 3D space
- you need cross-device support including VR headsets, desktop, and mobile
- you want an open-source, self-hostable, customizable virtual world platform
- you prefer open standards like GLTF, A-Frame, and Three.js

## When to avoid
- you need a native high-fidelity VR application rather than a web client
- you want a turnkey managed metaverse product without self-hosting
- your use case is single-user 3D content creation rather than social spaces
