Overview of this book

This book takes you on a journey to create intuitive and interactive Virtual Reality experiences by creating your first VR application using React VR 2.0.0. It starts by getting you up to speed with Virtual Reality (VR) and React VR components. It teaches you what Virtual Reality (VR) really is, why it works, how to describe 3D objects, the installation of Node.js (version 9.2.0) and WebVR browser. You will learn 3D polygon modeling, texturing, animating virtual objects and adding sound to your VR world. You will also discover ways to extend React VR with new features and native Three.js. You will learn how to include existing high-performance web code into your VR app. This book will also take you through upgrading and publishing your app. By the end of this book, you'll have a deep knowledge of Virtual Reality and a full-fledged working VR app to add to your profile!

Building a maze

There are a few ways we could build a maze. The most straightforward way would be to fire up our 3D modeler package (say, Blender) and create a labyrinth out of polygons. This would work fine and could be very detailed.

However, it would also be very boring. Why? The first time we get through the maze will be exciting, but after a few tries, you'll know the way through. When we construct VR experiences, you usually want people to visit often and have a fun time every time.

A modeled labyrinth would be boring. Life is too short to do boring things.

So, we want to generate a Maze randomly. This way, you can change the Maze every time so that it'll be fresh and different. The way to do that is through random numbers to ensure that the Maze doesn't shift around us, so we want to actually do it with pseudo-random numbers. To start doing...
