" summary

Shows working WebVR wiring: create WebGL canvas, use navigator.getVRDisplays to find headsets, call requestAnimationFrame from the VR display, read VRPose from getFrameData and submitFrame; demos use threejs (rotating box, webcam texture) and a WebVR polyfill so cardboard/Daydream and desktop Rift/Vive all run. Discusses device fragmentation, room‑scale/Lighthouse limits, 90Hz vs 60Hz motion sickness, Google Expeditions/Tilt Brush, and recommends A‑Frame and webvr.info.
