Virtual reality for web developers
summary
Shows how to build VR with plain JavaScript and HTML using A-Frame, backed by Three.js/WebGL, and an alternative React VR workflow; demos include a browser museum, a snow‑globe scene and a spinning cube that run in Chrome (with flags) or natively in WebVR on Firefox. Cites medical trials where VR reduced pain by 50–90%, warns about performance on low‑end machines and motion‑sickness, and recommends using requestAnimationFrame, Gamepad and Web Audio APIs.
