How pervasive will virtual reality be? Mozilla’s recent experiments combining VR and the web pave a path towards virtual presence – pushing beyond disconnected feelings of immersion and bringing us into new places with a life of their own. We’ve been working with Mozilla to make the web a killer app for VR.

In fact, I’m a bit surprised it took this long, but researchers at Virginia Tech have put their brains to good use and come up with a way for ordinary mortals to replicate the telekinetic powers of a Jedi in Virtual Reality. What we’re currently stuck with in most forms of VR are versions of what is effectively a 3D mouse.

As mainstream VR/AR input continues to evolve – from the early days of gaze-only input to wand-style controllers and fully articulated hand tracking – so too are the virtual user interfaces we interact with. When we bring our hands into a virtual space, we also bring a lifetime’s worth of physical biases with us.
