[[Carmel]] is a [[virtual reality]] (VR) [[web browser]] developed by [[Oculus VR]]. It was revealed in October 2016, during the company’s annual developer conference Oculus Connect 3. Since December, a Developer Preview version of Carmel is available in the Gallery Apps section for [[Gear VR]]. It is designed for developers looking to create VR experiences viewed through the browser using the [[WebVR]] API (an API that provides headsets access to web-based VR content). The Developer Preview contains several samples that showcase what can be done with VR on the web. It also contains documentation to aid the developers to make their own content. The company says that Carmel is “optimized for performance, designed for navigation and input in VR, and will be tightly integrated with Home and run on any Oculus device.” <ref name=”1”> Feltham, J.
