Challenges We Ran Into3D Development Learning Curve: Three.js presented a significant learning curve for our team, with seemingly simple operations like object rotation requiring extensive research and trial-and-error
Performance Optimization: Balancing visual fidelity with performance across different devices proved challenging
Feature Scope Management: We initially planned advanced features like WebRTC video calling and AI-powered teaching assistants, but had to scale back to focus on core functionality
Character Animation: Implementing realistic sitting postures and basic animations required complex rigging and transformation work
Real-time Synchronization: Ensuring consistent experiences across all users in the same virtual space required careful implementation of socket events
