WebXR
WebXR is a web standard API that enables developers to create immersive virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences directly in web browsers without requiring native apps or plugins. It provides access to XR hardware like headsets and controllers, handling device input, rendering, and spatial tracking. This allows users to experience VR/AR content through a simple URL, making it accessible across devices and platforms.
Developers should learn WebXR to build cross-platform XR applications that run in browsers, eliminating the need for app store distribution and reducing development overhead for multiple native platforms. It's ideal for creating interactive demos, educational tools, e-commerce previews, and social VR experiences that can be easily shared via links. Use it when targeting broad accessibility, rapid prototyping, or when integrating XR into existing web applications.
