[[Janus VR]] is a [[VR App]] for the [[Oculus Rift (Platform)]]. It is a platform that allows the user to see and experience the internet through virtual reality. __TOC__==Description==<strong>Janus VR is an immersive, collaborative, multi-dimensional internet where web pages are represented as fully interactive rooms with doors acting as links between them. It allows users to have spatial walks through The World Within the internet.Web</strong>
==Background==The Janus VR is an immersive and collaborative internet is seen browser. Named after the Roman God of passages, Janus VR re-imagines webpages as a collection of different search enginesmulti-dimensional spaces, linked by portals. Users experience 3D models, animations, spatial audio-video, apps and websitesamazing data visualizations built as webpages, in an intuitive VR context. Any current webpage, hosted anywhere, can be viewed in Janus VR allows the user to experience the internet in 3D. The basic analogy to explain Users enter Janus VR is that webpages are rooms and in a private homepage called the website links are doorways &quot;pocketspace&quot;, that connect is their dashboard to the roomsimmersive web, with portals to popular or bookmarked webspaces, and other people online. It can be defined as Opening these portals allows users to embark on an immersiveendless journey, collaborative and multi-dimensional literally walking or flying through the internet. It is based , with others or on a [[VR]] version of Firefox called [[MozVR]]their own. The initial version of janus VR was named FireboxIn social mode, but it was later decided to change user avatars at the name since the browser is not same webspace, can see, talk, chat and interact with each other. Users in party mode can even broadcast their movement in any way affiliated with Firefox web browsercyberspace. The current iteration Our growing user-developer community has built thousands of janus VR supports [[Oculus Rift DK2]] diverse webspaces for users to explore with content ranging from art to architecture, education, games, and [[Leap Motion]]live entertainment. Rooms are created These experiences can be built and edited in Janus VR itself, using an extended HTML both spatially tracked game controllers and keyboard-and JavaScript -mouse. Janus VR is a powerful combination of web content, VR and can be edited interactively from within the VRcollective imagination of our users.
The growing community has more than 90,000 members who, in most cases, actively participate in the development of this multiverse.
 
Janus VR is inspired by Snow Crash, a novel by Neal Stephenson.
==Features==
Janus VR is an online network of multi-dimensional spaces, which are interconnected by portals. It allows the users to experience the internet in 3D by through the use of a VR HMDs. The salient features of Janus VR are: *Author content using existing 3D models*Navigation using traditional game controls or 3D hand gestures*Talk and chat in 3D*Surf 2D web in 3D The environment in Janus VR is dynamically generated by using a portal-based system. The webpages with special HTML tags show enhanced 3D content and Janus VR allows interactive editing of these ‘FireBoxRooms’ directly. Site translators generate these FireBoxRooms after taking content, structure and data of existing sites and spatially generate content in a meaningful manner. The experience from Janus VR is multi-player or collaborative in which multiple people can navigate through virtual spaces together. The communication is done through sharing portals to new areas which each other or through voice or text. Recently, JavaScript (qtScript which is ECMAScript 3 complaint) enables the user to create a custom dynamic experience. The internet is then experienced in a purely visual and interactive manner through Janus VR.<ref>https://share.oculus.com/app/janus-vr</ref> Recent enhancements to Janus VR include increased support for 3D object textures and greater flexibility in the sizing and positioning of doorways between the rooms, and the ability to record ghosts of your avatar to bring some life into otherwise static rooms. Support for video files has also been included and is already being used for virtual movie theaters and variety of other uses.  The current iteration of janus VR supports [[Oculus Rift DK2]] and [[Leap MotionPartial Controller Support]]. janus VR is available for Windows, OSX, and Linux.
