A-Frame is a framework that simplifies the creation of WebVR experiences for web developers, using a declarative entity-component-system approach. The community actively contributes to its development, with numerous resources and projects available, highlighting its growing popularity. The document invites users to join the A-Frame community for collaboration and learning opportunities.

4. Too hard to create WebVR experiences.
Import WebVR Polyfill
Initialize scene
Instantiate renderer
Create render loopSearch for VREffect
Build UI for Entering VR
Set up Camera
Add lighting
Listen to window resize
Declare canvas
Geometry + Material + Add
