Mozilla explained its decision to close Firefox Reality by explaining that although it helps develop new technologies, like WebVR and WebAR, it does not always hold and brood them indefinitely. However, in an earlier announcement, Mozilla revealed that it will soon be shutting down the Firefox Reality by making it unavailable on the app stores within a few weeks after the news.
Along with surfing the 2D internet, users could surf the internet and interact in a 3D version that offers a 360 degrees panoramic image view, VR games, and 3D models. Launched in 2018, Firefox Reality was available on several platforms like Pico, Viveport, Oculus, and Hololens via various app stores. Firefox Reality, which was designed to work in a virtual reality environment, is being discontinued by Mozilla. Look at it this way: when you usually have to make do with the default browser for a given headset's platform ( however good it may be), just having a choice of major browsers is a big deal.A top Virtual Reality web browser is closing down. The 1.1 update is "right around the corner," however, and Mozilla vows that there's plenty more to come, including support for the above features and Firefox accounts. This is more for the occasional browsing session rather than something you'd use full time. Some mainstay features are still absent in this initial release, including bookmarks and even support for 360-degree videos. You might not want to do all your browsing from a headset, though. The home screen provides fast access to 3D content like Sketchfab models, so you won't be hurting for something to take advantage of AR and VR technology.įR is still using the same Quantum engine that you'll find in regular Firefox releases, and privacy remains a focus. And yes, Mozilla knows the flat web isn't so exciting in a headset. There's a virtual keyboard if you need it, but let's face it - you'd probably go back to a regular screen if you wanted to type more than once in a blue Moon.
The software is designed from the start for AR and VR hardware, with an interface that revolves around pointer control and voice search.
Mozilla's headset-focused web browser is finally ready for your cranium: Firefox Reality is available for HTC Vive, Oculus and Daydream devices through their respective stores.
