" summary

Overview of concrete outcomes: demonstrations include WebVR pages running in Samsung Internet (about 2M Gear VR users), Chrome Daydream preview, Oculus Carmel preview and Edge on a real HoloLens, plus iPhone Cardboard fallback. The stack shows WebBluetooth for BLE device control, Gamepad API (Chrome touch extensions), getUserMedia + Shape Detection for camera AR, Web Audio for ultrasonic signaling, and A-Frame for 3D scenes. Many APIs work but remain experimental or behind flags, so prototypes run but performance and delivery vary.
