They have policy against downloaders, but they only apply it if it's used on their product (YouTube) and allows it for other sites. And Chrome made it hard (for the not tech-savy users) to install extensions from outside of Web Store.

I think for this use case the Oculus with it's head tracking would be a better fit, because when you walk in a city you don't really use your hands like you do with the LeapMotion.

Javascript shouldn't be a problem for slower internet connections, it can be even useful by loading only the necessary parts of the site when users navigate. One problem is that lot of sites are using multiple libraries and widgets. O
