🚀 **Deploy Instantly to the Web** — Build on your machine, deploy to Needle Cloud or anywhere. Share your 3D experiences with a simple URL or QR code. No app stores, no waiting for approval, no installation required.


🌐 **True Cross-Platform** — One codebase runs everywhere – desktop, mobile, VR headsets (Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro), and mobile AR including native iOS WebXR support. When new XR devices launch, your apps work automatically.

🎨 **Work in Unity, Blender, or Pure Code** — Full-featured integrations for both Unity and Blender — modeling, materials, animations, lightmaps, and more. Or skip the editors entirely and build from code with three.js.

🎯 **Built-in Rapier Physics** — Full physics simulation with rigidbodies, colliders, raycasting, and character controllers – powered by Rapier, ready to use with zero setup.

🤝 **Multiplayer & XR** — Built-In Collaboration and XR aren't afterthoughts – they're core features. Add multiplayer, voice chat, or immersive XR with a single component.

⚡️ **Optimized for Performance** — Powerful compression and optimization pipeline ensures your files are small and load fast. Built on the glTF standard for maximum compatibility.
