Microsoft Is Bringing WebVR To Microsoft Edge On Windows 10 (mspoweruser.com) 30
An anonymous reader quotes a report from MSPoweruser: Microsoft today announced that the company is bringing support for WebVR to Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. With WebVR, users can experience Virtual Reality content from their web browser on a virtual reality headset such as the Oculus Rift. WebVR support on Microsoft Edge may also be useful for the Windows Holographic Shell on Windows 10, which is expected to arrive sometime later this year. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft will be allowing virtual reality headset owners to use Windows Holographic on their Windows 10 PC -- therefore, Microsoft Edge supporting WebVR can turn out to be very useful. WebVR is already supported in browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox, but it'll be coming to Microsoft Edge in the near-future. At the moment, Microsoft isn't sharing many details about WebVR on Microsoft Edge. While there isn't any official info on when the company plans to release this feature, we suspect it'll be coming with Windows 10 Redstone 2 which is expected to arrive in early 2017.

Was there even a first try? I remember some buzz, but I don't remember anyone actually using VRML.

I literally threw out a J# for VRML book when moving house a few months ago.
I knew I should have kept hold of it!

Came here to say this. I remember back in 1996 or so, a colleague of mine was trying say that in 5 years VRML will replace HTML. The thought made me throw up, it was so wonky.
I still have not caught on to the modern VR phase either, looks like it would give me neck pains.

It's time to "invent" a new Web. A place where big corporations are not welcome.
Corporation-free web over what Internet? (Score:2)
Would a corporation-free World Wide Web be carried on the present corporate Internet or over a parallel corporation-free Internet? If the latter, how will the non-corporate backers find the means to buy rights of way to lay wires from cities or to lease radio frequency spectrum from national radio regulators?
bloat, as such forefox/chrome will jump in too (Score:2)
classic case of bloatware.
given their track record, mozilla firefox and google chrome would also 'support' some kind of vr soon(may be they already do? idk thankfully).
why do these people so reluctant to allow users to pick and choose the programs they want to use when they want to use as needed.
