Creating VR (and AR) on the web. Take 2.

Back in 2016 we thought we finally VR on the web had arrived. Unfortunately the WebVR API was not future proof and it had to be reworked. It’s now 2019 and WebXR, the successor API, is now landing in browsers. This new API, not only allows us to interface with VR headsets, but it also lets us create AR experiences. Even if it’s a very young field there are already many headsets available and the web’s build-once-run-everywhere superpower has never been so clear. However, WebXR is a low level API and, just like with WebGL, we need libraries and tools. In this talk we’ll have a look at the current state of the API and we’ll see how to start building our first VR and AR projects.
