I think it's a gread idea. instead of have a site that use three.js ,  having a VRML browser where we can navigate between vrml websites, all using http protocol, and existing technologies

  • instead of having web pages, there will be VRML documents(the 3D stuff will be handled by the browser, not by javascript, but javascript could be used to make the things interactive)
  • instead of having hyper links to the other sites, there will be a kind of portals
  • the 3D stuff (camera, moving, collisition, etc...) will be handled by the browser, not by javascript code
  • javascript can be used to add somme interactivity between the user and the environment (by manipulating the dom, etc...)
  • the "multi user" things could be implementend in websockets, between the client and the server, not between javascript and the servers
  • the user information (url of the avatar model, nick name, unique ID, etc...) would be sent via the http headers when requesting the VRML page. 

 

I can do a POC for the server side. I have also a great experience in C#, but if somebody have any experience with unity (i have by example no clue about how to dynamicaly download 3D resources to render them in the scene) we could work together to make that possible
