I love the open web and want solutions like this to win but 3D experiences built on the web seem to fall flat. Any AAA games on the web? How far is state of art native desktop 3D vs 3D through the web? Add on XR (IMU, camera, geo-tracking, AI processing) and it falls even further. It would be interesting to see some side-by-side comparisons.


Don’t have precise answers to your questions but let me reframe.

AAA games that pushes HW to the limit is a small fraction of all content. Among most popular content on Quest you have VR Chat, Gorilla Tag, Beat Saber, Job Simulator: Indie titles def not AAA that the browser would be more than capable to deliver today. https://moonrider.xyz/ for example has 60-100k VR MAUs (300k at peak on Holyday season 2021). Tech is no longer a blocker to build good WebXR content and grow an audience. Mozilla, Google and now the Meta Browser team have done excellent work to get us here
