Creating Performant Virtual Reality Experiences

WebXR brings a new approach and a suite of tools designed to take full advantage of the modern web to deliver virtual experiences in the browser. Under the hood, WebGL’s hardware acceleration provides considerable performance gains. But as today’s virtual reality applications continue to push the limits for what’s possible on the web, we must find additional performance optimizations to create the most immersive experiences. In this session, we’ll explore recent performance enhancements to WebXR that we can include in our applications today. We’ll also take a look at common best practices to improve performance in virtual reality applications.
