WebVR - Virtual Worlds in the Browser
summary
WebVR enables browsers (Firefox) to access VR headsets and controllers so pages can read headset position and render stereoscopic views using WebGL and three.js or the higher-level A-Frame markup. Demonstrations include 360° photo scenes with hotspots, an interactive heart model, controller physics and Leap Motion hand tracking, and Google Cardboard for cheap mobile VR; limitations include latency, high GPU demands causing motion sickness, lack of PlayStation VR browser support, and impracticality for complex AAA games.
