+#### 12/27/2023
+- Switch from rendering scenes using a modified version of [Antimater15's Gaussian Splatting webGL code](https://github.com/antimatter15/splat) to using a version ported to [A-frame](https://aframe.io/). This brings additional benefits from incorporating [Three.js](https://threejs.org/) and WebGL 2.0. All code is now sourced from this [A-frame Gaussian Splatting repository](https://github.com/quadjr/aframe-gaussian-splatting).
+- Change code hosting from [a fork](https://github.com/Kezzsim/abandoned_splat_demo) to a [dedicated repository](https://github.com/Kezzsim/abndn-frame).
+- Added orbit controls as the default view controller, this locks the viewer into encircling the scanned object in each scene which is more natural than WASD.
+- Added VR Component: Although it runs very poorly on Meta Quest Headsets, when attached to a computer scenes are now viewable in Virtual Reality with a full range of motion.
+
+## Version 0.0.9
+<a class="github-button" href="https://github.com/Kezzsim/abandoned_splat_demo/commit/b65c14ccd8f69842e247fb76d9b446a32620ad33" data-color-scheme="no-preference: light; light: light; dark: dark;" data-size="large" aria-label="View commit b65c14c on github">b65c14c</a>
+#### 12/18/2023
+- Add preview links and custom favicons for easier sharing.
+- Only show title animation on desktop browsers, mobile cannot handle it.
+- Logo design, Font corrections etc.

 This is the source for all documentation behind [*abandoned.ai*](https://abandoned.ai), a resource intended to help preserve and protect the memory of lost spaces digitally using emergent technologies. Contained within are outlines that go over our mission, tools, process and practices.

-The invention of photography first allowed humans to capture small windows into the world around them, frozen in time to the exact moment the when the shutter opened. For almost a century things remained more or less unchanged aside from incremental improvements to cameras and film processes. Yet when computers started to become an essential part of image processing, suddenly a whole new world of possibilities started to open up. Now, with enough data we can start to truly capture the essence of entire spaces in a way that allows them to persist in a meaningful way that transcends ephemeral physicality.
