The result is a viewer that places IIIF images inside a VR recreation of an Edo-period townhouse (machiya), viewable in both a browser and a VR headset.</p> <p>The tech stack is <strong>A-Frame 1.5.0 + THREE.js 0.158.0 + WebXR</strong>. The 3D model is based on the <a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/japanese-machiya-set-kit-d0bb3d915bf9448a9ef46bcb6a6fa6db">Japanese Machiya Set Kit</a> published on Sketchfab, split by component and reassembled as needed.</p>
