In Dan Lejerskar’s experience, everyone from universities to governments see the value of XR — they just lack the content to make it a worthwhile, everyday tool. So this was before Oculus.

So how do you create a powerful, strong camera, 360 camera tool, but also give it the ease of use of a consumer product, and not have to spend too much time in post and all those things?

That’s why Mozilla, the makers of the popular FireFox web browser, are advocating their open source JavaScript API WebVR platform and HTML framework A-Frame to make it easier to design internet-based VR apps that run within cheap smartphone headsets or the more powerful Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
