Hey there, my name is Quinston and I am the CTO and Co-Founder of QuarkExp, a 360 / VR company based in Pune. We have been creating beautiful 360 / VR experiences for our clients since 2016 and I am eager to share what I have learned with as many people as possible. 

In this ebook, we shall learn about how to Create a 360 Image Viewing Desktop App with Electron.js, Three.js and Materialize from writing the first line of code to actually packaging and distributing the application. The app will run on both Mac and Windows and we will be covering how to write platform-specific code.


Use the app we will be building...

Windows App (.exe file)

Mac App (.dmg file)


Libraries Used

Electron.js is a library that allows us to build cross-platform applications with HTML, CSS and Javascript a lot of popular companies like Slack, Twitch.tv and my personal favorite, Visual Studio Code use.

Three.js allows us to add 3D Graphics to our application. It abstracts the complexities of WebGL and allows us to focus on the things that actually matter.

Materialize is a library that lets us use Material Design Components that are designed according to the specifications of Google’s Material Design Spec.
