Firefox Reality is a version of Firefox targeted at VR headsets. You can install it from the store of the Oculus Quest (the headset I own, I imagine others are supported). It's not meant to run on a regular workstation.
The interesting feature of this browser is navigating VR ready websites that provide an immersive experience (aka. webvr). You can also browse the regular web from your headsets, of course, but that's not particularly exciting.
- nicholascamera 7y agoIt is very odd how vague their product description page is. Naming a product Firefox Reality seems like good marketing: what could be a better brand than all of Reality? However in reality, their site doesn’t say exactly what parent says: Firefox Reality is a browser built for (standalone) XR devices.
- JadeNB 7y ago> It is very odd how vague their product description page is. Surely the oddity is solved by postulating that it is a marketing strategy to build interest?
- ACow_Adonis 7y agoI'm assuming that's a typo and you meant VR, given that I've never heard of XR, and thus wouldn't really be an improvement in terms of vagueness...
- neiman 7y agoNo, XR is a thing now. It's a general name for VR, AR and MR (mixed reality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Reality_(XR) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Reality_(XR)
- larsberg 7y agoThanks! We also find that a lot of our users really like watching 360 or even 2D videos, taking advantage of the ability to resize the screen to get their own personal theater. Right now, we only have Firefox Reality available for standalone VR headsets, but we're bringing the experience to desktop VR and a variety of standalone AR headsets in the second half of this year.
