Physical and Immersed
summary
Combines WebXR and Web Bluetooth to let a VR scene reflect and control real devices: a Nordic Thingy52 streams temperature, light and vibration to a WebVR scene (light sensor brightens the virtual background; button triggers haptic feedback) and a Parrot mini-drone is flown from a webpage using Web Bluetooth. Built on Samsung Internet/Chromium with ARCore/ARKit support. Claims scale: 10 million Bluetooth devices ship daily and Walmart pilots 17,000 VR headsets — demos work live with minor hiccups.
