JavaScript for Virtual Reality
summary
Claims that WebVR lets browsers enumerate VR devices and apply device-specific rendering and FOV calculations, with implementations in Firefox Nightly and Chromium builds. Uses 3js plus a render boilerplate with a webvr manager and vr effect/vr polyfill to handle devices like Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard. Demo shows a “rainbow knots” motion-sickness simulator implemented in about 20 lines of code (polyfill-enabled, rendered stereoscopically and demoed on hardware). Other working prototypes: Fidelity Labs’ stock-portfolio-as-city and Visor’s browser-based VR editor.
