Firefox is making a move that will have you in a Ready Player One mood before you know it. You will now be able to see you flat 2D web browser in an incredibly realistic 3D world that you can point at…with a virtual laser pointer. Be still my beating heart. Blame @cageymaru.



Today we are proud to announce Firefox Reality, a new web browser designed from the ground up for stand-alone virtual and augmented reality headsets. We took our existing Firefox web technology and enhanced it with Servo, our experimental web engine. From Firefox, we get decades of web compatibility as well as the performance benefits of Firefox Quantum. From the Servo team (who recently joined the Mixed Reality team) we will gain the ability to experiment with entirely new designs and technologies for seeing and interacting with the immersive web. This is the first step in our long-term plan to deliver a totally new experience on an exciting new platform.
