Google is reportedly looking to bring virtual reality (VR) to its Chrome browser, adding support for WebVR to the latest builds of Chrome Beta and Chrome Dev.
As the tech giant Google is working really hard on the version compatible with the virtual reality of its Chrome browser for Android, and it would work even on the websites that are not designed for this new technology.
The latest versions of Chrome and Chrome Beta Dev incorporate two new features around virtual reality. “Chrome Beta continent WebVR now a parameter that allows better compatibility with VR devices with virtual reality sites built with WebVR standards,” says the website.
Chrome Beta now includes a WebVR setting that allows VR devices to be compatible with VR websites built with WebVR standards. Chrome Dev contains a “VR Shell” setting that, as explained by Chromium Evangelist Francois Beaufort “allows users to browse the web while using Cardboard or Daydream-ready viewers.”
The Chromium team is working on several features to bring the web to VR. They’ve recently added an experimental flag at chrome://flags/#enable-vr-shell to enable a browser shell for VR. This allows users to browse the web while using Cardboard or Daydream-ready viewers.
They’ve also been working towards WebVR support in Chromium and launched VR view² to help web developers embed VR content in their web pages. The team is just getting started on making the web work well for VR so stay tuned, there’s more to come!
However, the tech giant Google intends to accelerate its developments around virtual reality in the coming months. During the Google I/O conference, the company announced its platform Daydream which is also about virtual reality as we mentioned earlier. In addition, the tech giant Google also announced work on its own virtual reality helmet. As the Samsung’s Gear VR, it will operate in conjunction with a smartphone, but, still, no launch date has been announced yet
