Short description: Free online 3D game engine

8XR is a browser-based game engine for building immersive experiences and 3D games with HTML and Entity component system ecosystem.[1] The engine combines graphic builder tool and visual scripting.[2]

Technology

In September 2021, the MVP was released. Beta version of the product was introduced in May 2022.

The engine is built using threejs, webgl.[3] The 8XR game engine is browser-native and cross-platform.[4] While the creation process is in a browser, the outcome can be accessed via the browser or downloaded for VR/AR headsets. Node-based visual scripting is an engine-native framework for creation of interactive experiences and complex behaviours. It allows building 3D scenes without any programming experience. 8XR has similarities with UE Blueprint or Unity Visual Script.

The 8XR engine is the only browser-based game engine, which isn't template-based and offers users wide opportunities to create 3D games and augmented experiences on their own from scratch. It also has a native 3D models AI generator. These no-code tools are often designed with line of business users in mind as opposed to traditional IT.[5]

Usage

8XR supports artists and designers as well as game developers, providing them with spaces for art residencies, exhibitions, creation and testing games.

Formerly 8XR game engine has been used by:

  • Haken Art Award[6]
  • Digital Air Art Residence[7]
  • Chimera Art Residence[8]
  • Metaverse Fashion Council[9]
