As we predicted, 2017 is a big year for the WebVR industry. One of the most interesting developments is that Amazon has released a preview version of Sumerian to developers, which is officially launched. Sumerian is a browser-based tool that makes it easier for developers to build Web VR content. The summer of 2017 was a very special time for WebVR-enabled browsers; Firefox released Firefox 55, becoming the first desktop browser to officially support the WebVR standard.
In fact, Apple's Safari is the only browser in the current browser alliance that can't support WebVR. This means that if you want to respond to WebVR content on Safari, developers must manually add parameters that mimic the parameters provided by the WebVR API, such as lens distortion based on a head-mounted screen and gyroscopes for VR tracking. Information, etc. Although this method is not useful for the Edge browser on Android, it can provide an OK experience in most cases.
Fortunately, in July of last year, three Apple developers joined the WebVR community group, so this year we may be able to see Safari officially support WebVR.
Finally, the W3C officially held the first workshop for WebVR licensing in Brussels last month. One of the key outcomes was the renaming of the WebVR iteration to the "WebXR Device API", extending the reach to MR and AR. Therefore, although we call it WebVR at this stage, it is already related to all XRs in the future.
"Support WebVR" VS. "Only support WebVR"
In 2018, we increasingly need to distinguish between "WebVR-enabled" browsers and "WebVR-only" browsers because they are two very different ways of consuming content, especially now that VR users will use it. they.
The "WebVR Support" browser refers to any major browser that supports WebVR API parameters, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Samsung Web Browser. In these browsers, there is no difference in browsing 2D content, but once you encounter WebVR content, you can interact with 3D content, and they will react to your mobile location. There will also be a “Enter VR†button to let you choose the VR mode, and you can insert the phone into the VR head to achieve complete immersion.
These browsers serve two purposes, both in the past and in the future. When a user jumps from browsing a 2D website to a WebVR experience, they can achieve a seamless connection, and with a single click, they can achieve complete immersion.
On the other hand, "only support WebVR browsers, such as the Oculus browser that was released last year, is starting from the VR environment itself.
We can only use this type of browser through VR headers, they are not familiar with the 2D browsing mode. These browsers can only communicate WebVR content in a virtual environment, and sometimes even be customized based on content. For example, when a user views a traditional 2D website, a flat 2D image appears floating in the VR environment. If this 2D website happens to have a WebVR version, the user can also choose to enter the immersive mode.
Therefore, these two different browsers have a very large impact on the user's navigation and consumption.
"A key advantage of WebVR is its ability to reach a wide range of users across websites, mobile and VR platforms. When we think about how to create meaningful social interactions in VR, WebVR can make users in VR Connect with users outside of VR. We showed some demos on F8 last year, and we're continuing to explore other use cases and other technologies needed to support these experiences," said Andrew Mo, product manager for Oculus WebVR. "In addition to the examples I have given, some use cases that improve efficiency, such as document collaboration, long-distance meetings, etc., are also areas that are worth investing in. But our exploration of these is still in its early stages."
Imagine, perhaps in the future we will be able to visit Airbnb's house through VR together and make a decision together. When these experiences become social, we will get a lot of extra surprises. Due to the development of VR, we have seen this change in many aspects. For example, the e-sports live site Sliver.tv has joined the VR perspective, and Hulu has also joined the social VR. WebVR will accelerate things in these directions.
Reach every platform and user through WebVR
It's worth noting that JanusVR, this native VR browser, runs on its own language, JML. This browser is developed from a VR perspective and hopes to go beyond the limitations of HTML, because HTML is not suitable for creating a 3D world. In January 2016, JanusVR released a WebVR service called JanusWeb that allows users to access the platform from outside the native application, such as directly from a traditional browser, while also using the browsing performance of native applications. This is like a browser in a browser.
"By publishing WebVR services that can run on any browser, we are able to reach more users, including almost every device, because JanusWeb can run on PCs, laptops, phones, tablets, TVs, and also supports Every mainstream VR head shows," said James Baicoianu, chief engineer at JanusVR. “Our users can also share the world they created on social media, and because they only need to click through to the world, it’s better to convince others to install an app.â€
The above examples show that WebVR has many possibilities, with many use cases and user stickiness. This is why we think that WebVR is the most powerful branch of the VR industry, and it is worthy of our close attention this year.
