Web Based Virtual Reality - made terribly easy

By Srushtika Neelakantam

Elevator Pitch

Virtual Reality is a technology used to create Virtual experiences. But most of the developers do not have any idea about it’s development due to lack of knowledge of WebGL. My talk will introduce Web Based Virtual Reality which makes developing VR websites, easy for Web developers.

Description

Virtual Reality is a technology used to create Virtual spaces and experiences around you. It is undoubtedly one of the most sought after technology of the present times. But most of the developers do not have any idea about it’s development or working due to lack of knowledge of WebGL which is most certainly used for all kinds of VR development. What if we could change that ? My talk will introduce Web Based Virtual Reality which makes developing VR websites, a cakewalk for Web developers.

This will be a beginner to intermediate talk, where the audience will learn about the WebVR API and the A-Frame framework that allows you to develop VR websites using HTML. By the end of this session, the audience could be lost in the virtual world that they themselves created. All we need is a laptop and a cardboard (Which I’ll carry with me).
