Hello everyone, I’m currently working on a WebGL project built with **Babylon.js** that offers a **virtual tour of the city of Dieppe (Normandy, France)**. The goal is to recreate the downtown area (around the Saint-Jacques church and nearby streets) in 3D, so users can freely explore the environment directly in their browser. 🔹 **Main features so far** : - **Open world multiplayer** powered by **Colyseus** (real-time exploration with other players). - **Immersive environment** with recognizable landmarks and local architecture. - **Gamification elements** : - **Physics with Havok** : a usable **ball on the beach lawn** that players can interact with. - **Dynamic sea level** : the water height changes in real time, based on actual tide data. ⚠ **Current limitations** : - The **FPS mode** is not yet active (coming soon). - **VR movement on Meta Quest** has stopped working since the latest update and needs fixing. - The **sound ambiance** still requires improvements. My goal is to combine **cultural heritage, exploration, and gamification** , making an experience that blends local history with modern 3D technology. 🔗 **Demo** : [https://deeps.fr](https://deeps.fr) ▶ **Video** : [https://youtu.be/-7nbvjqmeIs](https://youtu.be/-7nbvjqmeIs) I’d love to hear your feedback, especially on: - performance and optimization tips for open worlds in Babylon.js, - best practices for multiplayer synchronization, - and any ideas to enhance immersion (graphics, VR, sound, interactivity). Thanks in advance for your insights! ---

Thanks again for the feedback! 🙏 A couple of hidden extras have been added for the curious: - an **experimental Gaussian Splatting scene** , - a **photogrammetry capture** integrated into the environment. Also, upcoming improvements: - **FPS mode** will be active soon, - **VR movement on Meta Quest** will be fixed, - **sound ambiance** will get polished. Keep exploring the scene — more surprises may be waiting! 😉 ---
