Understanding the Opportunity and Impact of Immersive Technologies
summary
Covers concrete platforms and demos: uses three.js and A-Frame examples (a spinning torus and an ISS photo gallery with positional audio), shows a live social room built on Hubs (hubs.mozilla.com) that attendees join across desktop, mobile and VR, and a browser AR proof‑of‑concept using AR.js with marker tracking and a glTF avatar. Explains WebXR support in browsers, tradeoffs of 3DOF vs 6DOF and tethered vs untethered headsets, and raises specific ethical risks around gaze, biometric tracking and shared AR layers.
