The next frontier WebGL and WebVR
summary
Shows concrete WebGL work using three.js to load geometries, textures and GLSL shaders (examples: NYT mountain visual, MapQuest drone point cloud, 3D models for architecture/medicine) and demos a browser VR pipeline that splits the view, uses the WebVR API/device pose or deviceorientation, and updates camera per-frame. Covers cheap Google Cardboard (~€10), Oculus pricing (~$599), and Tango positional tracking (dev kit ~$1000, consumer ~$500) — all working in-browser.
