      Has the WebVR 1.0 API support for virtual screens by AR/VR and light field AR/VR?

      One engineer said he got rid of the four monitors he used to have on his desk because he’s able to get most of his work done through the Meta glasses now. The engineer showed how he could work on the designs of a 3D object, while checking his email and listening to Spotify through multiple “virtual screens” accessible through the Meta glasses.

        Meanwhile Mozilla still recommends Windows and only supports this one proprietary VR SDK.
        Unfortunately, Macs are not recommended for consuming content with the Oculus Rift. Oculus froze Mac and Linux SDK development in the summer of 2015, and while the 0.5.0.1 SDK is still currently available from theirdeveloper site, newer versions of OS X are beginning to break support for the Rift DK2. We still use the 0.5.0.1 with our Macs on the MozVR team, but only during development, to test basics of tracking and scene composition. For actually consuming VR experiences, we use Windows PCs or our mobile phones.

        The bug reports for OSVR and OpenVR:
        https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1198518 Apparently this was ready last year already
        https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1186578 Apparently this was ready 1.5 months ago

        What are you doing, mozilla?
