Google has announced the release of the source code for their project, Google Blocks. This software allows users to create virtual 3D content for virtual and augmented reality systems, such as scenes, objects, and models. Users can work with the program by using virtual reality helmets, which enables them to create models directly within a virtual 3D environment, rather than on traditional flat screens.
The code for Google Blocks is written in C# and utilizes the Unity game engine. It has been made open source under the Apache 2.0 license. This means that developers are free to modify and distribute the code as they see fit. The software is compatible with 3D helmets such as the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, allowing for a more immersive experience during the content creation process.
