  • Meta rebuffs Google's virtual reality tie-up proposal

    A primary feature of the Metaverse as initially envisioned was having a platform for diverse virtual shared spaces, experiences and software.

    WebXR has the potential to be this shared platform. But certain features such as immersive navigation that would facilitate this may be being deliberately held back or neglected.

  • The GPU Banana Stand

    But representing the DOM etc inside a 3D space is useful so you don't loose access to the world of 2D information. However there are no good solutions to this at present the Immersive Web Workgroup in W3C are looking at Layers or DOM Overlay which is for AR modes but might support 2D navigation but it seems low down on the priority list due to CORS and other security challenges.

  • VRML

    The Wikipedia example shows something kind of JSON-like but originally VRML was like HTML (SGML).

    Something similar to that is A-Frame VR which is built on WebVR.

    There used to be a way with at least one VR-enabled browser to navigate without exiting VR (if the other site supported VR). Not sure any still support it. I think this may be because it goes against walled-gardens interests. https://github.com/immersive-web/navigation#api-proposal
