GUEST:

WebVR being a game-changer for the VR industry is a message that I’ve been eager to spread for the past couple of years. The JavaScript API that enables you to load VR experiences on your browser enjoys all the benefits that the open web has to offer an emerging tech (like no friction or walled gardens) is in an interesting enough place that, even if there were no new developments, 2018 is already shaping up to be an amazing year for immersive browsing.

And yet within months the WebVR API will shift gears and become the WebXR API, a combined framework that welcomes WebAR into the family, and thereby allows developers to create immersive content that runs on all VR and AR devices. So, while the rest of the industry continually falls prey to fragmentation, this web-based standard offers us an alternative vision that unifies the entire spectrum of immersive computing.

In fact, it makes the immersive web inherently interoperable; a feat no other platform can even come close to imitating.

“AR and VR share many technologies, from spatial trackers to head-worn displays to interaction devices; from a purely technical standpoint, combining device support into one API will hopefully simplify both the implementation and the use of the API.” Blair MacIntyre, the principle research scientist in the emerging technologies group at Mozilla, told me. “The bigger significance is that by making one API, it is easier for developers to target the spectrum of ways their content can be experienced by users. A key characteristic of the web is that you can visit a web page from the device or browser of your choice, and have a reasonable expectation that you can access the content in some form.”

Responsive across the full XR continuum

Developers can now look forward to creating a single web page, for example, that will be responsive across all platforms and devices, creating use cases that allow digital objects to spring in and out of virtual worlds and appear into the mixed realities that blend seamlessly into the real world. Content will shift back and forth between VR and AR and, naturally, the use cases are exceedingly broad, versatile, and invites developers to consider cross-device responsiveness from the outset in developing XR content.

“There are plenty of scenarios where it would make sense to have the application be responsive and go from an VR to an AR. Immediately I think of education, shopping and training scenarios.” Diego Gonzalez, a web advocate at Samsung Internet, told me. “Possibly the most important one being education, where objects can be in a virtual place and interact in a simulation with the user, and then they can be brought to the ‘real world’ to manipulate and take a closer look at. In this case the combination of being able to inspect something ‘onsite’ and then see how it behaves/operates in a different environment.”

Brandon Jones, Chrome WebVR developer, describes it like this: “Today we tend to think of VR devices as headsets and AR devices as handheld phones, so I’ll use that for the example: VR is great at giving you a sense of scale relative to yourself, while today’s mobile AR is great at giving you a sense of scale relative to your environment. So imagine you’re looking for a piece of furniture or a TV or something similar for your home. An app built for both VR or AR could let you stand next to the object in VR, at the correct scale, to get a sense for how big it is. The AR side of it could then project that same object into your room to indicate it if will fit the space. Of course, the really exciting point will be when you can do both with a single headset, getting that personal sense of scale and grounding in your environment simultaneously.”

All the major browser vendors under one banner

Jones also co-chairs what has recently been renamed the Immersive Web Community Group, which was established under the W3C Community Groups organization in order to play the essential role of developing the WebXR API with the active participation of all the major browser vendors and the wider developer community. It brings all of the key players to the table so that they can work together in moving the standard through the W3C standards process.

“We’re talking it one step further, though, and working to establish the Immersive Web Community Group as an incubator for any standards related to how the web interacts with immersive computing. By encouraging any new immersive web features to be developed under the same banner we can ensure that those features complement and enhance one another.” Jones told me.

The WebXR API should be made accessible to developers for early testing in Q1 2018, and you can be sure to expect to see increasing coverage as the months unfold and we inch closer to the standard becoming a stable browser feature. When it does make its public debut, you can bet that it will upset a lot of the market forecasts that have been crunched together by pundits who have assumed all along that VR and AR reflected two distinct and separate industries. It seems immersive computing was always destined to be a lot more mixed.

GUEST:

Last year was action-packed for the WebVR industry, as we predicted. One of the most interesting developments was Amazon entering the fray by introducing the developer preview of Sumerian, a browser-based tool that makes it even easier for developers to create WebVR content. The summer was a particularly special time for browsers that support the WebVR standard; Mozilla released version 55 of Firefox for Windows, making it the first desktop browser to officially support the WebVR standard.

Apple’s Safari is, in fact, the only member (aside from Opera) in the browser pack to still not support WebVR at this stage. What this means is that for WebVR content to be responsive on Safari, developers have to manually add in the polyfill specs, which mimics the information the WebVR API otherwise provides, like lens distortion based on a device’s screen and fetching gyroscopic information for VR tracking. While polyfill may still not work for some browsers, like Edge for Android, in most cases it should offer an “okay” experience.

Thankfully, last July a trio of Apple developers joined the WebVR Community Group, so we might just see Safari “WebVR-ready” sometime later this year.

Finally, the W3C also hosted its first workshop on WebVR Authoring last month in Brussels. One of the key outcomes was to rename the future iteration of WebVR (WebVR 2.0) to the “WebXR Device API”, which expands its scope of influence to now include MR and AR implementations. So, although we’ll continue to call it WebVR for the time being, get ready for a change of terms soon.

WebVR-ready vs. WebVR-only

In 2018, we increasingly need to distinguish between “WebVR-ready” browsers and “WebVR-only” browsers, because they reflect two very different approaches to content consumption, particularly insofar as early VR adopters are making use of them.

WebVR-ready browsers are any of the major browser vendors that have committed to the standard WebVR API specs. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Samsung Internet Browser are included in this category. In this case, you’re navigating the 2D web like you always do, but when you encounter WebVR content, you will be able to interact with the 3D content, sometimes offering what we call a “magic window” view that enables the content to be responsive to the positioning and movement of your mobile. From there, an “Enter VR” button lets you switch to VR mode and then plug-in your VR-headset for full immersion.

These browsers have the dual purpose of reconciling the browsing of the past with the browsing of the future. When a user is surfing from a 2D page to a WebVR experience, they transition seamlessly thanks to the magic window, which can then transform into complete immersion with one more click. That’s progressive enhancement strategy at work.

On the other hand, WebVR-only browsers like Oculus Browser, which also made its public debut last year, make the VR environment the starting point.

You can only get to these inside a user’s VR headset, and they don’t exist in the traditional “2D mode” of browsing that you’re otherwise used to. These browsers only convey WebVR content inside a virtual environment, which can sometimes even be customized according to the content. So, for example, when a user views a traditional 2D website, it’ll be presented on a flat 2D plane inside the browser’s VR environment. If there happens to also be a WebVR version of the 2D page, the user can jump into the immersive view with just one click of the “Enter VR” button.

So, the two different approaches have a big impact on how user navigate, consume, and relate to 2D and WebVR content alike. They, in fact, shape it.

“One of the key advantages of WebVR is its ability to reach a large audience across web, mobile, and VR platforms. As we think about creating meaningful social interactions for our users in VR, WebVR gives us the potential to connect users in VR with their friends outside VR. We put together a short proof of concept video last year at F8 and we are continuing to work on additional use cases and the underlying tech that are needed to support these experiences,” said Oculus’s Andrew Mo, whose its WebVR product manager. “In addition to the examples I gave, we also think productivity use-cases like document collaboration, virtual meetings, etc. are promising areas to invest in. But we’re still in the early days of exploration here.”

Imagine browsing through Airbnb in groups, booking in consensus together, and all of the additional functionality that comes into play when the experience suddenly becomes social. We’re already seeing this shift happen in various ways thanks to VR, like in the case of Sliver.tv’s transformation of the spectator experience in esports and in Hulu’s social VR integration. WebVR-only browsers will only accelerate things in this direction.

In a WebVR category all of its own

It’s also worth noting the case of JanusVR, the native VR browser that runs on its own language, JML. It was developed with VR in mind from the outset in order to transcend the limitations of HTML, which was never originally intended for building 3D worlds. They released a WebVR client, coined JanusWeb, in January 2016 as a means to widen their platform’s reach by enabling users to access the platform from outside the native application, directly from any traditional browser, while still using the browsing features of the original application. It’s like a browser inside a browser.

Above: JanusVR users watch the Ready Player One trailer with friends using a WebVR-enabled browser.

“By offering a WebVR client that runs in any browser, we’re able to expand that reach to include anyone on just about any device – JanusWeb runs on desktops, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, TVs, and even embedded devices like Raspberry Pi, and has support for every major headset.” James Baicoianu, the principal engineer at JanusVR, told me. “It also allows our users to share and promote the worlds they’ve made on social media, and because their content is just a click away they see much higher adoption than if they had to convince people to install an app just to get started.”

All of this speaks to WebVR’s versatility, which as far as use cases go, is broad in its applications and is very sticky wherever it goes. It’s why we consider it to represent one of the strongest branches of the VR industry, and one that you should pay close attention to as it continues to evolve this year.

GUEST:

I like to encourage an iterative approach to designing immersive games, which happens if developers and studios simply afford themselves the space and opportunity to experiment in order to discover how their concept can be designed with effective hooks that get players to play repeatedly.

Earlier this month I published an article that positioned WebVR gaming as the sweet spot the VR industry should be prioritizing. I then followed up to criticize the knee-jerk approach many developers and studios automatically take when building games and content with high fidelity as the central frame.

WebVR, of course, I held up high as the “oppressed” lingua franca of VR!

Let’s take a closer look at the iterative approach taken by three pioneering studios that developed the first generation of WebVR games. Each of these three cases were originally showcased on Google’s WebVR Experiments when it debuted back in April.

First up is Mr Nom Nom by Zurich-based Etter Studio, where the player transforms into a donut tasked with wrapping its ‘fashionable’ scarf around very hungry characters, trapping them by completing a circle around them. It was developed by a team of six people working across three countries: Switzerland, Germany, and Hong Kong.

Christian Etter, the studio’s founder and game director for Mr Nom Nom, described the iterative process to building it:

“We had some interesting prototypes, a system which allows to modularly build very basic geometrical characters and then the system would animate the characters generatively. Which worked incredibly well since the animation was much better and smarter than if it would have been done manually. Out of this prototype we slowly built the game, taking many different directions.”

It’s telling to point out that Etter was quite the VR skeptic prior to his studio’s foray into WebVR.

“Previously I have been quite critical of VR, because of the expensive and heavy hardware requirements and therefore thought it’s only for a small group of well-off tech enthusiasts. And frankly, VR didn’t appear very useful other than for things such as flight simulators. But by enabling WebVR via the browser would bring VR seamlessly to a large audience — it seemed like a good idea to make it more accessible and hence we wanted to push in this direction too and were curious to experiment with this new standard.” Etter told me.

Next up is Spot-the-Bot by U.S.-based Hook Studios, a social two-player game that allows you to team up with friends in a collaborative race against time. While “player one” is immersed in a virtual world filled with robots and parts, “player two” watches on using his mobile or desktop screen, serving as a spotter by helping player one to, you guessed it, “spot the bot” in VR.

It’s a clever and novel approach that takes advantage of WebVR’s unique feature of allowing users to play either with a VR headset or without one. But that they’ve actually assigned and fixed the roles according to immersive vs screen is a pretty cool but surprising twist in design for me, and highlights how the very nature of WebVR offers a variety of new possibilities in cross-platform gameplay.

“We started by prototyping a variety of gameplay mechanisms around creating an experience that was simple, social, collaborative and could take place in a shared space. To further those goals, and inspired by social games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, we focused on asymmetrical gameplay: dividing up both the information and interaction. This also provided a secondary benefit of simplifying our networking code, not requiring us to synch up complex information like physics simulations or animation frames. From there we settled on the concept for what became Spot-the-Bot, surrounding one player with a bunch of similar looking things and giving the other player a single one to describe, in this case: robots.” Brad Nawrocki, Director of Creative Technology at Hook Studios, told me.

Last but not least is Konterball by Vienna-based studio wild. This sleek two-player Ping Pong rendition has crazy game modes and a bold visual style. It’s designed from head to toe with WebVR’s progressive enhancement strategy in mind, which means that it’s fully responsive to smartphone sensors (wave it around in the air) or when your mouse on your desktop, and therefore makes ‘getting into the game’ virtually frictionless.

“The game is playable with your regular smartphone sensors or your mouse on desktop, all the way up to Cardboard, Daydream and HTC Vive/Occulus. We had to consider this in developing the game mechanics and controls as well as we didn’t want an HTC Vive player to have any advantage over someone with a desktop computer or cardboard. Therefore we decided that where possible, you can play the game only by moving your head or through device sensors. The only exception had to be desktop.” Thomas Ragger, Partner & Tech Director at Wild, told me.

WebVR games, particularly casual titles like shooters, puzzle, and arcade, can take as little as days or a few weeks to conceive and create, and with these generous timelines in mind developers or studios can enjoy moving fast and breaking things, which I believe is the best way to gradually reveal the right formula that makes each particular game appealing and addictive in its own unique way – and yet, of course, in low fidelity.

These are the projects that need to be churned out in large supply so that we can evolve our understanding of what makes VR experiences tick, stick, and compel us all to slot in some time in our daily lives to play fun immersive games. It’s the functionality that we learn here, through quick-and-dirty iteration and by the gravity of large numbers, that trumps everything else. And that’s the formula that will trigger mass adoption.

If you have a Daydream VR headset, you may want to update your Android phone’s Chrome browser ASAP. Chrome’s stable version now supports WebVR, a JavaScript API necessary for experiences loaded on browsers to work on a VR device. Google introduced WebVR support in Chrome beta for Android last year, but now you don’t have to stick with the browser’s experimental channel anymore.

Megan Lindsay, Chrome’s product manager, listed a number of VR content you can load on your phone and view on Daydream right now. They include the 300,000+ celeb homes and tourist attractions on Matterport, as well as the Bear71 nature documentary. Within gives you access to award-winning virtual reality films, while Sketchfab features VR scenes from various videos games, anime and other sources. You can also pick up and play with objects using your Daydream controller on PlayCanvas’ WebVR Lab. This list is bound to expand, since Google is encouraging developers to sign up and make their creations viewable on Daydream.

You’ll of course have to use a Daydream-ready phone like the Pixel to access all those on the headset. But when Google launches WebVR support for other headsets like the Cardboard — and it plans to do so in the future — you can use other smartphones’ Chrome browser. The company is also working to add WebVR support to Chrome on computers for the sake of desktop VR headsets like the Oculus Rift.
