three-mesh-ui is a minimalist JavaScript library for building VR user interfaces on top of three.js. It creates UI elements as three.js Object3Ds that can be placed directly in 3D scenes, since HTML/CSS cannot be used in immersive VR.

Use cases

• build VR menus and buttons in a three.js scene
• create in-world text panels for WebXR experiences
• add a virtual keyboard to a VR application
• render 3D user interfaces for AR headsets
• make interactive UI blocks with layout, borders, and overflow handling in three.js

When to choose

• you are building an immersive VR/AR experience with three.js and need in-scene UI
• you want lightweight UI meshes without a heavy framework
• you need text, buttons, and keyboards rendered as 3D objects in WebXR

When to avoid

• you are building a regular desktop or mobile web UI where HTML/CSS works fine
• you need a full UI framework with state management and data binding
• your project does not use three.js
