WebVR isn't just virtual reality, it's real reality

We are delighted to announce that WebVR will ship on by default for all Windows users with an HTC VIVE or Oculus Rift headset in Firefox 55 (currently scheduled for August).

WebVR transforms Virtual Reality (VR) into a first-class experience on the web, giving access to the infinite possibilities found in the openness of the Web Platform. When coupled with WebGL to render 3D graphics, these APIs transform the browser into a platform that allows VR content to be published to the Web and instantaneously consumed from any capable VR device.

We would like to invite content developers to use A-Frame (aframe.io), a framework used over 10 million times a month, or one of the other amazing web engines and frameworks, such as React VR (facebook.github.io/react-vr), to target WebVR and begin to develop VR.
