Unity and Unreal Engine create high-quality VR experiences, while AR learning usually requires building an app. A lightweight way to create VR and AR experiences is needed for quicker turnarounds and lower costs.

WebVR, and now WebXR, are HTML/JavaScript-based standards that allow surprisingly simple creation of high-quality VR/AR experiences that can be distributed via a URL. This session will introduce WebXR and walk through a simple project with follow-up resources.

In this session, you will learn:

About the benefits of WebXR
A workflow for how to create a WebXR project
About integration of web-based VR into mobile and other systems
How WebXR can help make VR projects part of a “normal” L&D workflow
