## What it is
A THREE.js-based boilerplate providing a starting point for building cross-platform web-based VR experiences that work on all VR headsets. It integrates the WebVR Polyfill for browsers lacking the WebVR API and WebVR UI for entering VR and magic window modes.

## Use cases
- build a web-based VR experience
- create a virtual reality website that works on all headsets
- bootstrap a THREE.js VR project
- add VR support to a web app with a polyfill
- prototype cardboard or headset VR in the browser
- start a cross-platform WebVR demo

## When to choose
- you need a quick starting point for a legacy WebVR (pre-WebXR) project
- you are targeting older browsers or devices that rely on the WebVR polyfill
- you want a minimal THREE.js VR setup with enter-VR UI included

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project today, since WebVR has been superseded by WebXR
- you need actively maintained code or up-to-date browser API support
- you want non-THREE.js rendering engines or native VR development

## Facets
