EDIT: Sorry I'm having some issues with my servers now since lots of people are using it! Hoping to fix it soon!<p>Hey HN! I've been working on this project for a few months now and I thought this would be a good time to release a beta version. DJ3D will keep Youtube videos in sync with a group of up to 30 people, and each person gets a fun little avatar in a 3D world to mess around with. All you have to do is create a room and share the URL!<p>Tech stack:<p>- Agones + nengi for the multiplayer<p>- three.js for rendering<p>- Firestore for video syncing<p>Coming Soon:<p>- Usernames<p>- Chat<p>- Video queuing<p>- More expressive features (dances, emotes, etc.)<p>Sorry if you encounter any issues, it's still a work in progress. Feel free to report bugs or give feature suggestions at our Discord!<p><a href="https://discord.gg/Wpmz55T" rel="nofollow">https://discord.gg/Wpmz55T</a><p>More of my projects:<p><a href="https://neelmango.com/" rel="nofollow">https://neelmango.com/</a>
Nice! Some feature ideas after using it:<p>- It would be great if you could use your webcam as your face, in addition to the emojis.<p>- Ability to send messages in the room and have them appear above your head would be a nice feature.<p>- Being able to set your username would be nice so you know who is who.<p>- It would be cool if there was multiple room types, and the creator of the room can pick one (A theatre, a grassy field, a living room, etc.).

I love this! I would be perfect is the little guy can jump in the cubes like in a platformer, it's amazing that you have all this space to run, but it's a litte boring if you can't climb thins or hit/interact with other users. But lovely idea, cheers. (sorry for my english)
@mastersky7 restrictions create more creativity.<p>1. People running around and blocking the view can be very distracting -- I'm assuming the point here is to be a utility, albeit a fun one. So perhaps allow people to jump or wave or do something in place (like throw emojis above them). But people are locked in place.<p>2. Enable a performance mode, where people can then view the same in 2d.. so people with less powerful machines are able to partake.<p>3. A chat sidebar optionally.. so people can use that to discuss.<p>These 3 would help a lot for so many usecases (including mine -- watching tech talks with co-workers). Does anyone have other recommendations for my usecase?
It'd be cool to have the option to feed my webcam to the face of the character, and for the head to point in the direction of the mouse cursor like Minecraft.
I am really chilled, what a cool thing!<p>Please add text chating, just please...............<p>This remind me reminiscent of drive-in movie theater...
Reminds me of the Web Displays Mod for Minecraft: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpqOv7SxkHA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpqOv7SxkHA</a> .<p>Complete with keyboard and mouse. Why ever leave the game?
This is superb!<p>You're almost at a point where this can be made into a browser extension, to include sites like Netflix, Hulu etc..<p>Also, please make it more like an actual movie theater were we could sit down and talk (audio chat).
This is so awesome. Let me customize my guy.<p>EDIT: You could develop this into a full-blown virtual movie theater experience. Add a snack bar and rows of seats. Maybe you could even sell virtual popcorn to people.
The grass is a cool feature showing how well three.js works,
maybe add a small world building tool with different terrains. Not sure how much more load it would add.
This is very exciting. I have been browsing /shownew lately here and this is another project that is very inspiring.<p>I have a hard time staying focused when watching programming tutorials, or any educational content really. I felt so much more relaxed and focused having the ability to let my character jump around while watching the content.<p>Plus this will be a great tool with the social distancing measures being taken.<p>Thank you for sharing!

What I love the most is the character animation. Did you animate this by hand yourself?<p>Ah, I see you're the guy behind 3dforreddit too! I had some fun with that when it was posted here.
It's so cool!!<p>One weird thing, it seems like jumping makes the video restart<p>EDIT: Okay it seemed to stop doing that after I enabled and disabled my cursor again
