## What it is
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

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
