Mozilla foundation working on MozVR to bring virtual reality to the web

Mozilla has released a new website MozVR.com, as part of Firefox’s 10-year anniversary, which will be compatible with the Oculus Rift VR headset. Calling it, “A VR website about VR websites,” Mozilla says that MozVR will be a platform to share experimental VR Web experiences, provide resources and showcase work done by developers. Mozilla had earlier in June, released experimental builds of Firefox with support for Oculus Rift. The idea behind MozVR is to be a native VR website which will be fully immersive and come with three dimensional experience. Mozilla developed unique solutions to overcome the challenges that were thrown up.

In order to keep the navigational experience as close as possible to a regular website, along with the immersive experience that is the hallmark of VR, menus appear as unobtrusive layers that can be easily summoned or dismissed. Clicking on a link, will make the user interface dissolve into the actual body of the link. It will not have any plugins, installs or interruptions says Mozilla. Mozilla has put up some demos as well on MozVR.com such as Sechelt - a WebGL fly-through of coastal British Columbia, The Polar Sea - an Arctic circule documentary with 360 degrees angle of vision, Information Driving - a data visualisation demo and so on. If you want to see the demos, you will require a VR-enabled build of Firefox and of course, an Oculus Rift VR headset. Although Mozilla is currently conducting tests using Oculus Rift, the main idea is to make the site VR headset agnostic.
