What's WebVR?

WebVR is an open set of guidelines that makes it possible to experience virtual reality in your web browser. The goal is to make it easier for everyone to get into VR experiences, no matter what device you have.

How can I try WebVR?

You need two things to experience WebVR: a VR headset and a compatible web browser.

I’ve already got a headset.

Select your headset below to find out which browsers work best for you.

Google Cardboard

Works best with Chrome on Android devices. 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.

Daydream

Works with Chrome on Daydream-ready Android devices.

Samsung Gear VR

Works with Oculus Browser and Samsung Internet.

Oculus Rift

Works with Firefox and Supermedium on Windows.

Oculus Go

Works with Oculus Browser.

HTC Vive

Works with Firefox, Servo, and Supermedium on Windows. On macOS, you can use Firefox Nightly.

PlayStation VR

Does not currently support WebVR.

Windows Mixed Reality headsets

WebVR v1.1 is supported by Microsoft Edge on Windows. Firefox and Supermedium are also supported with SteamVR.

I don’t have a headset.

The easiest way to get started is with a basic headset like Google Cardboard. Just drop your phone in, and you’re ready to go. You can also use your phone with more advanced headsets like Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream.

For the best performance and most features, you can use a VR headset connected to a computer, like Oculus Rift or HTC VIVE. 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.
