Blog Post Title 3

Last week I got to speak at WebXR in Paris, a meetup focused around WebVR and WebAR. I got to meet a lot of passionate people and I am excited that there is such a large active community focused around the topic that we at Samsung are helping to develop.

If you’re reading this you probably have some idea of what WebVR is, if not; WebVR is like regular old virtual reality, but instead of downloading and installing apps you just go to a website, put your phone into a headset such as the Gear VR or google cardboard and get to be immersed in a VR experience straight away. If you’re on a desktop you can use a headset such as a HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. If you don’t have a headset that’s fine too. Most WebVR experiences are designed to work well on any device even without a headset, although you wont get a full VR experience. You can read more about WebVR here: https://webvr.info/
