Let’s get started in Virtual Reality with A-Frame, which is an open source project that allows us to develop WebVR applications like how we develop web sites - using XML based declarative markup.
We will introduce the current status of VR software and hardware, and what WebVR fits in. Using the Mozilla-developed A-Frame project, we will build a simple WebVR application that can be viewed on a desktop browser, on mobile with Google Cardboard, or even on a high-end head mounted display.
