Mozilla is ready to take the web browsing experience to the next level with its virtual reality web browser called Firefox Reality . It 's built exclusively to work with standalone VR and AR headsets.
You can use Firefox Reality with a VR Headset, to search and browse websites via the hand controller. This browser uses voice search.
However, there is also a hand pointer for typing words from a virtual keyboard, but it is an extremely slow method and probably no one will be willing to use it.
The new browser also brings a slew of new features such as Privacy Mode, Resize Mode, and the flexibility to move between 2D and 3D web sites.
The browser is free and version 1.0 is available for VR headsets such as Google DayDream, Oculus Rift, and Viveport.
The Firefox Reality browser is also optimized to run on audio systems that were released recently, such as Oculus Go and Lenovo Mirage Solo.
Given that this is the first release of the VR browser, Mozilla will need to address the upcoming issues of the application. However, this is considered a secondary issue for now.
Currently, VR content is available in standalone applications, which require users to sign up and download them to start using them.
With the introduction of the VR browser, we hope users may have an easier transition to developing content built for VR headsets that could run on WebVR.
It would be interesting to see whether developers will choose to create content for Mozilla's VR browser or whether they will continue to create standalone VR applications in the future.
