What is WebVR?
</h3>
<p>
WebVR is an open specification that makes it possible to experience VR in your browser.
The goal is to make it easier for everyone to get into VR experiences, no matter what device you have
</p>

<a id="how-do-i-experience-webvr" class="anchor" href="#how-do-i-experience-webvr" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
How do I experience WebVR?
</h3>
<p>
You need two things to experience WebVR: a headset and a compatible browser.
</p>

I’ve already got a headset.

You can still experience WebVR content in other browsers on Android and iOS, but it might not be as smooth since those browsers don’t fully support WebVR.

The easiest way to get started is with a basic headset like <a href="https://vr.google.com/cardboard/">Google Cardboard</a>.
Just drop your phone in and you’re ready to go. You can also use your phone with more advanced headsets like
<a href="https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-vr/">Samsung Gear VR</a> and
<a href="https://vr.google.com/daydream/">Google Daydream</a>.
</p>

For the best performance and most features, you can use a VR headset connected to a computer, like
<a href="https://www.oculus.com/rift/">Oculus Rift</a> or <a href="https://www.vive.com/">HTC VIVE</a>.
Those will allow for higher framerates, higher resolutions, and even let you walk around in VR.

Or, on some sites, you can just use your computer or phone without a headset.
You won’t be able to see in 3D or interact as fully in most VR worlds, but you can still look around in 360 degrees.
