A-Frame is an open-source web framework for building 3D, AR, and VR experiences in the browser using HTML and an entity-component-system architecture, built on top of three.js. It works across headsets, mobile, and desktop via WebXR.
Use cases
- build a VR scene with just HTML
- create a 360 image gallery for the web
- make a WebXR experience that runs on Quest and desktop
- build browser-based 3D games
- prototype AR experiences on mobile
- render 3D models like glTF in the browser
When to choose
- you want declarative HTML-based 3D/VR development
- you need cross-device WebXR support without boilerplate
- you want a large ecosystem of community components
When to avoid
- you need fine-grained low-level control over the WebGL pipeline
- you are building a native VR application outside the browser
- you need maximum rendering performance for heavy scenes
