Standards group W3C publishes WebXR draft

Standards group W3C moved VR and AR on the Web forward this week with the publication of a draft specification.

The WebXR Device API “describes support for accessing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices, including sensors and head-mounted displays, on the Web.” When paired with 3D content made in WebGL, the API can turn a standard URL or web address into a portal to another world.
