<br>
Yes, to answer your question. I mean HMD + some controllers to trigger a "TouchSensor" node or to even use a virtual keyboard and the movement of the HMD or e.g. any walking system as input for navigation. <br>
<br>
The display of the "red beam" from the controller to the touched scenery and the display/functionality of the virtual keyboard should be implemented by the X3D Player. I would not like to care for these, as a scene author. <br>
<br>
I would aim at following use case. <br>
<br>
Given we had an "SrrTrains Community", then that community would prepare the pure X3D Content.<br>
<br>
At some time the community virtually meets, some members might have their own Hardware, other members might actually use the public hardware in some VR Cafe and one member must host the MU Server.<br>

<br />
Thanks for all hints received so far.<br />
<br />
However my main question was about VR.<br />
<br />
Are there any plans or is it already possible to use X3D Players with VR equipment?<br />
<br />
Does it make a difference whether I use "native" X3D Players (Contact, Instant Player, Castle Game Engine, ......) or "WebGL based" X3D Players.<br />
<br />
I will myself face this question actually earliest in 2020 I admit, but I thought having some answers on X3D-public could also help other People.<br />

<div style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px"><div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I will be finished with my application (alpha release "not before 2020"), then I will have a nice little Visual Basic Application for .NET/Windows integrated with an X3D Scene played on BS Contact, made multiuser capable by BS Collaborate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Besides some licensing questions (will my users like to pay for BS Contact? will at least one of my users be willing to buy and run BS Collaborate) I will have some other questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What about VR?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Will it be possible to go downstairs to the VR Cafe and tell the people: here's a nice collaborative application, where everybody can bring his/her own content. Can we play it on your hardware?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Will I need to rebase to another X3D Player? Instant Player? Free Wrl? X3DOM? X_ITE? Castle Game Engine? ...?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any hint welcome.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance</div>
