Exploring Natuerlich: A Revolutionary Interaction Library for the Spatial Web

Posted on:August 21, 2023

Natuerlich is German for Naturally!

Building interactions for the immersive web creates many challenges but thankfully Natuerlich, the latest library from Coconut XR, lets you get going a lot easier! If you’re comfortable with React, you will be able to dive right into using this library and create amazing websites that can take advantage of hand-pose interactions, HUDs, image tracking and more.

Fish position is controlled with hand gestures. I plugged my web Aquarium project into Natuerlich! Read about the web Aquarium project here

All interactions built with Natuerlich can work with hands, controllers, mouse and touch controls.
