## What it is
Networked-Aframe is a JavaScript framework built on A-Frame for creating multi-user virtual reality experiences on the web using HTML and JS. It supports WebRTC and WebSocket connections, voice and video chat, and syncing of A-Frame components across clients.

## Use cases
- build a multi-user VR app in the browser
- add voice chat to a WebXR experience
- sync 3D entity state between browser clients
- create a social VR room with avatars
- stream video textures between users in VR
- make a multiplayer 3D game with A-Frame

## When to choose
- you want declarative HTML-based multi-user VR on the web
- you need cross-platform support including Quest, Vive, and mobile browsers
- you want built-in WebRTC voice/video chat and entity syncing

## When to avoid
- you need a non-web native VR engine like Unity or Unreal
- your project is single-user 3D with no networking
- you need large-scale MMO-style server-authoritative networking
