About

Math topics can be challenging to grasp sometimes, and @quentinv72 and I thought demonstrating them in interactive experiments in a VR environment could help with that. As a first step, we wanted to use random experiments to illustrate Law of Large Numbers with a whole lot of dice falling down from the sky.

As we wanted this to be a web application that is easily accessible, we chose A-Frame as framework. This means that any browser on a VR or any other device should be able to run this. However, we highly recommend you to use a VR headset for the best experience!

A-Frame is an easy-to-configure library based on Three.js, which gives us flexibility in our devlopment cycle in case we need it.
