TOPIC 2 - Bucharest Live - live feed from the #WebVR booth at How To Web
How To Web - Reps, TechSpeakers and Mozillians everywhere!
What’s WebVR - DevRel & the “WebVR demo roadshow”
QUESTIONS:
What is people opinion on VR on the web? they love it. really. huge queues all the time! also, it’s very experimental now, so they are looking forward to it maturing
What is the lowest, entry level thing you can do to start learning to dev VR? or even teach someone else? You could get a Cardboard VR viewer and use it with Firefox for Android Nightly or latest Firefox OS (nightly-latest recommended.)You might need a beefier phone to be enjoyable, but theoretically it could work even on a Flame.
To setup WebVR Mobile
on Firefox for Android Nightly (can also be enabled in latest Firefox OS Nightly):
You may need to set about:config -> dom.vr.enabled = true
on Firefox OS / foxfooding phones:
Switch channel to nightly-latest.
Connect to PC, use WebIDE to flip settings -> dom.vr.enabled = true
For a desktop setup you need a good cpu & gpu, plus at least an Oculus DK2 headset and optionally a LeapMotion gesture controllerfor details of setting that up, reach out to the WebVR Slack folks (link below) or drop me a mail: flaki at mozilla dot hu

Council has been working with mentors providing a list of questions all budget requests should answer in order to have all the information needed by the time it gets to the Council, saving everyone’s time, redducing frustrations and making initiatives more impactful. Please, reach out your mentors to get updates about this
