An open source VR headset for the web

from the self-post dept.

What makes it for the web? Unlike other headsets we are focused on implementing technologies such as Exokit that will specifically improve the web experience. Our first release of code, components, and CAD files will be in 3 months. Feel free to join our discord for the time being :)

Very innovative. I do a lot of excel work and web research with dual monitors. I’m constantly spending time moving my hands too much. Look forward to testing your product in the future!

Will this be 3D printable?

Yes. Our goal is to use 3D printing to make the headset both customizable and modular.

Our current plan is to leverage other community projects such as Supermedium for VR browsing and Exokits Chromium iframe capabilities for 2D browsing.
