Ex-Mozilla WebVR Team Launches VR Web Browser

Supermedium, the team behind Mozilla’s WebVR standards and the A-Frame open-source VR framework has released a VR web browser.

The company has also announced that it’s been chosen to be a part of Y Combinator’s Winter 2018 startup batch, the company’s first time in the startup world. Company co-founders Diego Marcos, Kevin Ngo and Diego Goberna wrote on the company’s blog:

“The beauty of web-based VR is that content loads fast. A typical native VR application is several or dozens of gigabytes large, takes a minute or two to boot, and costs $20. On Supermedium, you can click a link in Supermedium and within a few seconds, you can be painting in A-Painter, shooting asteroids in Space Rocks, or be on the sea train from Spirited Away. Have a go at a VR experience for a minute or two, and move onto something else if you want”.
