Development Environment
Livelink.js is the entry point for client applications to consume and interact with 3dverse's real-time 3D rendering sessions. We believe the browser is the most accessible way to deliver rich 3D experiences. That’s why we designed Livelink.js to integrate seamlessly into any web development ecosystem. Whether you’re working with React, Vue, or another framework, developers can easily leverage Livelink.js to bring real-time 3D to their applications.
That being said, setting up your own web-development environment can be daunting. That's why we've created an easy entry point for those looking to get started.
