An Introduction to WebVR
summary
Overview of what actually gets built and how: a working 360° video prototype uses WebGL + Three.js, the WebVR API (with a polyfill and WebVR manager) and mobile/desktop device feeds; rendering runs stereo twice and targets 90 or even 120 fps on HMDs. Practical limits and fixes are measured: devices have ~10 PPD vs 60 PPD ideal, comfortable depth is 0.5–20 m, avoid acceleration to reduce sickness, and the API enforces requestPresent requires a user gesture.
