Firefox Reality is the name of the first browser that arrives designed to exploit Virtual Reality... and it is multiplatform
Table of contents:
Firefox was one of the revelations of 2017 and not because we didn't know it, but because of the small revolution brought about by the arrival of Firefox Quantum. The company finished strong last year and this year it starts in the same way or at least those are its intentions with the launch of the first browser designed to be used with virtual reality. Your name?: Firefox Reality
Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality may not be a concept that is very familiar for most users, but little little by little ( although for many more slowly than expected) it is gaining prominence and has more of a market niche.And Mozilla's browser arrives so as not to lose presence in the market that is to come.
One browser to rule them all
The new browser, designed specifically for virtual reality, is developed to be used with Virtual Reality glasses that we can now find in the market. This is the case with the most popular, the HTC Vive Pro, but also with the HoloLens, although these offer Augmented Reality more than Virtual Reality.
Firefox Reality is the first browser that arrives to offer support for all VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) glasses on the market. An alternative to those that already incorporate each of these glasses by default by their manufacturers. This is possible because Firefox Reality is an _open source_ and cross-platform browser Be it Samsung, Occulus, HTC, Microsoft... everyone will be able to use Firefox Reality in their developments .
Firefox Reality is the first cross-platform browser that arrives to cover a previously deserted space and thus takes an advantage that can be remarkable over its rivals in the event that Microsoft, Google or Opera decide to continue with the same strategic line.
Firefox Reality will be a reality at the end of summer and although at first its use will be rather residual, it is hoped that it will progress at the same rate as Virtual Reality, a sector that should gain in popularity as the cost of the different virtual reality glasses decreases and at the same time that they increase in performance and usability.
