Throughout the past year, we’ve loved working in virtual reality — from in – house projects to our work with Google Daydream for IO 2016. See Cosmic Trip , which brilliantly uses physical buttons to navigate its item menu; or Job Simulator , which almost entirely eliminates the old point-and-click interaction paradigm.

During the last few years, web developers have tried to integrate virtual reality experiences on websites, starting in 2016 with the first WebVR API, but leaving aside the important segment of augmented reality, which is why WebXR was born. It consists of a room in which you can interact with some objects.
