   Yeah, HTML in VR has been a big ask from a lot of the Web community. There is plenty of action happening there across the vendors. They are doing lots of thinking around security and such. At the moment, we're not focused on the 2D Web

   Thanks! VR, despite the hype and push, is still very early stages. The headsets that can provide quality experience are difficult to set up and clunky. We haven't replaced Skype with meeting up in VR...yet. But we'll see prices dr

   Good question, I'll add it to our FAQ later. Down the line, yeah. We just launched so we're still iterating and linking to more WebVR content to improve the experience on Windows where most of the users are today. Then hopefully,

   We'd love to, PSVR has been a very accessible way for people to have VR. But there are lots of technical challenges for us. We will continue to research. We hope one day though we can be on all the headsets. Just as the Web is on all p

   Sounds neat. Whatever you are able to pull off the Web. I'm sure someone has tried to scrape Google Maps, or OSM has an API.

   While more expensive, we love headsets that have positional tracking and controllers (6DoF). It doesn't feel like true VR without them. Those include HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows MR. We are eagerly awaiting Oculus's "Sa

   Thanks, we are trying to write more blog posts since we're cutting into new territory. "Customizing Gecko" would be a fun one. I definitely stared at the Waterfox repo at few times ( https://github.com/mralex94

   Cool! Audio visualizations and music videos were the first things I toyed with when getting into VR. My first WebVR app was a waveform visualization of Darude - Sandstorm.

    Yeah, WebVR is still very early, and VR has been all native so far. It would take a bit of time to catch into VR meetups. The 2D Web has lots of baggage from the 2D Web's performance related to the 2D layout engine. Performance, while

    It's currently based on Gecko. Thanks to Kearwood Gilbert and Daosheng Mu for pushing hard for years on a great implementation of WebVR!

    Yeah! I think the Web has many merits that make more sense for developers over using native game engines. People will reach for the Web when they want more distribution, when their app doesn't make sense on the game stores, need to pub

    When people go wilderness backpacking, Snickers are a common go-to. They are calorie dense and provide the most relative to the weight.

    Well, companies take many years to reach that stage of success, so of course all the successful companies will have come from the past batches when batches were smaller.

    I don't think it would help WebVR (maybe in the future rendering DOM as textures, but it'd be limited to only 2D), but today WebVR applications goes through a different pipeline, running purely on WebGL.

    That's fair. I mentioned Unity not much about Unity's UI, but about the core pattern. I was mostly honing in on the restrictive part since A-Frame was designed to have no restrictions and permissionless extensibility. Advanced use

    Not actually. it's an entity-component three.js framework at the end of the day, even though it offers easy entry on the surface. Same pattern as Unity. Here's pretty much Tilt Brush built with A-Frame: https://github.c

    True, but the interaction pieces were still part of the format, and probably limited in power. Though I'm a bit too young to have been experienced that era, so I don't fully understand the comparisons. But I know today A-Frame has
