MozVR is Mozilla’s attempt to promote new possibilities found in the merging of virtual reality with the web. The project was launched as a part of their 10th anniversary, and it's built on experimental Firefox builds with Oculus Rift support.

Enthusiastic developers can head over to MozVR’s GitHub, where Mozilla houses their code, tools, tutorials, and examples of their technology to build real-world applications of virtual reality enabled the web.

How to get started with MozVR

To get started with MozVr, users need to install a VR-enabled version of Firefox and either make certain changes to about:config, or install the WebVR Enabler Add-on. Users of Google Chrome don’t have to use Firefox; there are experimental builds of Chromium created by Google engineer Brandon Jones.

With the latest Oculus runtime installed, all there is left to do is head over to any web VR website and press the „Enter VR“ button. These sites can also be viewed using iOS or Android device. Simply tap the "VR" icon button, and drop your phone in a Cardboard holder.

Mozilla doesn’t recommend using Mac computers for consuming content with the Oculus Rift. Oculus froze Mac and Linux SDK development in the summer of 2015, and newer versions of OSX are beginning to break support for the Rift DK2.

Mobile users have to use WebGL-compatible browser and Google Cardboard V2-compatible headsets for best results.
