Virtual reality technology is growing by leaps and bounds. With the ability to combine the Internet with VR (with VR headsets), you can now create virtual reality environments with WebVR, a powerful JavaScript API backed by the W3C. And with YouTube VR already available, you can enjoy VR content on your mobile devices.

The Experimental Nature of WebVR

First, we should note that WebVR is still in the testing phase (experimental) and has not been approved by Google or any other company. Because it is experimental, you won't be able to see live demos, and in almost every test, a warning will appear saying your browser does not support the technology.

What we want is to show you the tools you need to understand the idea behind VR and why WebVR will surely change the way develop virtual reality in browsers.

Enabling WebVR in Your Browser

On the WebVR page, you'll find all the instructions to enable your Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Browser for Gear VR as a genuine virtual reality platform.

Exploring Moz VR

Moz VR is another website for creating virtual reality projects. While many of them work with VR headsets, some use WebVR technology. This platform is compatible with Firefox Nightly Build and upcoming versions of Chromium. Although it is an experimental web, it's a good way to experiment with virtual reality and WebVR 3D visuals.

You'll surely see a large number of security alerts when configuring your web browsers. But rest assured, the WebVR API is hosted on GitHub by the W3C team, making it an official W3C specification.

The Future of WebVR

We hope that with these tools you will be one of the pioneers who start to transform the gaming experience on the Web and its interactivity. And although many experts say WebVR is a decade ahead of its time, because according to experts, users will begin using this technology in over 8 years, you can be one of the first to delve into WebVR technology.

Free Resources and Source Code

All the codes and files we provide are free. But if you want to download the direct source from WebVR's GitHub page, you'll find links to the API specifications and dev resources so you can start with all the tools you need.
