WebXR Support

VertoXR provides WebXR support through a browser extension, allowing you to experience immersive web-based XR content using your AR glasses. This enables you to access a wide range of WebXR applications, games, and experiences directly from your browser.

Overview​

The VertoXR WebXR extension bridges your AR glasses with the WebXR API, enabling 3DOF (three degrees of freedom) head tracking capabilities. This allows you to:

  • Experience immersive VR/AR web applications
  • Play browser-based XR games
  • Access WebXR demos and experiences

The extension works by translating your glasses' orientation and position data into the WebXR API format, making your AR glasses appear as a compatible WebXR device to web applications.
