Vive Focus - Sideload a VR Browser?

[exgreen]

I have a Vice focus, purchased in the US. Support for VR content is shockingly low in the browser. Are there other browsers that can be sideloaded onto the Focus? Oculus browser is the best I've worked with. But I'm open to anything. 

 

Thanks,

Firefox Reality is still under heavy development. Tip-of-tree builds are available at the bottom of the Readme.

Thanks. I briefly had it installed. It's still developmental, with limited functionality right now. I was hoping someone had figured out how to port one of the other browser I mentioned as a working solution.

Hey! We're working on a browser now at Drop (www.drop.ai). It's available on Viveport and Steam. We're working on getting it ready for the Focus at the moment. Shoot me an email at russ@drop.ai and let's talk some more.

Email sent.

Russell - a couple of questions about Drop.

 

1. Will it support WebVR?

2. What's your timescale for the various platforms? I'm especially interested in Wave and Daydream.

Hi Andy! 

 

1. Yes it supports WebVR. 

2. It's currently available on Steam and Viveport. We are going to provide a build for the Focus (Wave) in the next few weeks. No immediate date yet for Daydream. Shoot me email at russ@drop.ai
