Building Decentralized Social Virtual Reality using WebXR on your browser

YouTube

Abstract

Talk at FOSDEM 2020 on building auditable, privacy-aware social VR experiences using WebXR.

Key points:

  • Building social VR spaces that run entirely in the browser
  • Decentralized room hosting resistant to takedowns
  • Privacy-aware design with auditable code
  • Cross-platform support from mobile to high-end VR headsets
  • IPFS integration for decentralized asset hosting

Takeaway: You can build fully functional, privacy-respecting social VR experiences using only JavaScript, WebXR, and decentralized protocols — no SDK lock-in required.
