[x3d-public] Question VR Cafe + X3D

[Leonard Daly]

Christoph,

A lot depends on what equipment you want to use. Most immersive headsets 
work best at ~90fps. I would not want to rely on a phone to run at that 
rate for any long duration of time, so that kind of eliminates the 
cardboard (including Daydream, GearVR, etc.) types that use the phone as 
the tracker and display. Whatever s/w you use needs to be able to output 
stereographic (left/right) scenes.

The W3C's Immersive Web specification should be out by your time frame 
with at least two browser support. That doesn't mean there will be any 
X3D application support, but it may make a number of other choices 
available to you.
