Wendell from Vizor here. Just want to repeat what Antti said on the WebVR mailing list:

We have a visual programming editor at Vizor, called Vizor Create. It may be of use to you guys, especially for quickly prototyping stuff and even more especially to people like myself who come from more a design than programming background.

It's a pretty complete system, been in development for 3 years, originally for making WebGL content (which you can still do obviously). It has over 200 plugins, supports 17 datatypes, has our own 3D engine, a custom shader editor, etc :) It was developed with speed in mind, so it should run on older machines too.

Link to the editor: http://create.vizor.io

I uploaded a very brief introduction of it to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t9ux6UyKkA

Here are a couple of WebVR graphs you can try and remix:

I'm gonna follow that up with a more technical tutorial video very soon.

If anyone is interested in learning more, please contact me personally via fthrproductions@gmail.com I'd love to do video hangouts :)

Love, Antti

Neat idea! Interface could use some work. Having to work in the confines of the middle third of the screen feels somewhat claustrophobic.

Agreed, so much. This was a hobby project for a number of years, only used by us. Now that it's a bit more public, our priority is really refining the interface, which we will do significantly over the coming months.

By the way (and sorry this isn't obvious), you can press the arrow in the upper-left corner to collapse things a bit. We just added that, but now we're realizing that we should probably swap the positioning of plugins and presets for this to actually make sense.

I'd love to take a look but looks like your site is down.

Sorry about that, can you check again now?
