Oculus follows trend to launch VR browser "Carmel"

Firefox browser developer Mozilla is working with Brandon Jones of the Google Chrome team to develop the first official version of the webvr API, hoping to standardize Internet virtual reality content. The domestic giant Baidu will also be unable to hold on to publish Baidu VR browser on September 15, 2016. VR web browser has always been a hot topic of discussion.

At OC3, Oculus launched its own web browser to support VR web pages. Oculus said that developers can develop simple virtual reality experiences on web pages with just two software. One is new software based on the web development tool React, and the other is Oculus's new browser built for virtual reality.

It is reported that this VR browser codenamed Carmel supports running on Gear VR and Oculus Rift. Nate Mitchell said that developers only need a few lines of Java code to develop a VR experience and share it immediately. More developer information will be released soon.

At present, the turbulent VR market has not only produced excellent VR browsers, but it is instead that some erroneous VR browsers are mixed in VR applications. The entire Web VR domain is extremely lacking a unified standard. Like the lack of VR standards, only one company stands out and unifies the Web VR domain with the overwhelming advantage that it is possible to open a chapter in the new era of VR.
