Thanks! We began building the tech for a watch party site (watch.hyperbeam.com) and were similarly skeptical of other viable applications. However, it turns out there are a ton of really cool use cases—here are some companies using our API right now: Remote tutoring: https://www.teachwithkoala.com VR offices & conferences: https://framevr.io Watch parties: https://kosmi.io Online coding lessons: https://www.strivemath.com VS Code embeds: https://github.com/mintlify/connector As for improving VR support, we're in the process of building a Unity SDK.

Hey HN, We’re Philip, Amby, and Declan, and we made “multiplayer virtual computers” that you can embed anywhere, including 3D spaces. We decided to build this because we noticed that embedding third-party apps and websites can be a nightmare due to incompatible platforms, security issues, and poor UX. Adding multiplayer functionality to these embeds makes this problem exponentially more difficult. On the backend, we’re spinning up a VM and running a resource-optimized fork of Chromium which we then stream to participants via WebRTC. Since we’re hosting the servers running the applications, multiple users can connect and control the virtual computer seamlessly, and their client just needs to handle a video stream. If you want to add multiplayer virtual computers to your own app, you can sign up on https://hyperbeam.com/?ch=hn&cm=hn1, grab a free API key, and throw the provided embed URL in an iframe in your app. You can also play around more with the Three.js demo in our interactive sandbox: https://app.sideguide.dev/hyperbeam/threejs/ If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to comment or shoot me an email at declan@hyperbeam.com. Thanks! Docs: https://docs.hyperbeam.com.
