Build an interactive WebGL experience with Next.js

This post introduces the use of react-three-fiber and drei for building interactive WebGL experiences within Next.js. It provides a basic example of creating 3D objects with React components and demonstrates a more advanced prototype with a light beam that reflects off of 2D objects, showcasing the use of instanced meshes for rendering streaks and glow effects. The post also highlights the performance benefits of react-three-fiber over raw three.js at scale.
