Start creating immersive experiences for the web

Frameworks

Frameworks help you build immersive content quickly using easy-to-use tools. React 360 is a developer framework from Oculus that allows you to create rich, interactive 360 VR experiences using JavaScript and the coding patterns of React. It simplifies the development of complex 3D graphics, 360 media, and VR controller input by allowing you to use simple and familiar APIs and concepts.

Other frameworks include Mozilla A-Frame, Babylon.js and Three.js, which all perform well in Oculus Browser.

Open Standards

Oculus Web is aligned to WebXR, the latest proposed standard for building VR Complete websites (websites that take over the full field of view in a VR headset) that replaces WebVR. In the future, the WebXR standard will expand to support MR and AR use cases across multiple devices.

Developers can build on WebVR today and transition to WebXR as it moves from the experimental phase to a stable, open standard.

Oculus Browser

If you’ve already built web-based VR content and want to optimize it for Oculus headsets, Oculus Browser is the place to start. It is the default browser for Oculus’s standalone VR products, which maximizes the performance of content on Oculus headsets. Oculus Browser also allows audiences to access popular immersive content from websites, Facebook, and a curated collection of WebVR developers.
