*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 [2].<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.
