Google Launching WebVR for Android Chrome in January

Image
Google plans to ship a public version of Chrome on Android with support for WebVR 1.1The company plans to launch a beta in December with a stable release planned for January. WebVR in the “stable” release means that it’ll make its way into the same Chrome browser app that everyone on Android sees in the Google Play store. What this means is that the browser will allow users to pop their phone into a Cardboard or Daydream headset to experience VR web content straight through Chrome, without the need to download individual apps.Megan Lindsay, WebVR Product Manager at Google, noted that the company is continuing work on the Chrome ‘VR Shell’ that will allow 2D websites not built for WebVR to be browsed in VR. That’s planned for the first half of 2017 on Chrome for Android, and later in 2017 for the desktop browser. Microsoft has also announced that they are bringing WebVR to Microsoft Edge.
