WITHIN WebVR

WITHIN creates distribution platform using WebVR

Virtual Reality (VR) content has arrived on the web, with help from the WebVR API. It’s a huge inflection point for a medium that has struggled for decades to reach a wide audience. Now, anyone with access to an internet-enabled computer or smartphone can enjoy VR experiences, no headset required. A good place to start? WITHIN’s freshly launched VR website.

I went to the home site

https://vr.with.in/?page=3

clicked on one of the offerings and it opened up but all I saw was what I thought was a pretty picture. Stared at it for a while and thought , duh yeah, and was going to close it down when I pressed and held the left mouse button whilst moving the mouse. AAh ha so that is what this is all about.

From gamers to filmmakers, VR is the bleeding edge of self-expression for the next generation. It gives content creators the opportunity to tell stories in new ways, using audience participation, parallel narratives, and social interaction in ever-changing virtual spaces. With its immersive, 360-degree audio and visuals, VR has outsized power to activate our emotions and to put us in the center of the action.

I bet this would look good on one of those £5 "Google Cardboard" headsets . I had a go, but scrolling with the mouse just isn't the same - although it's good that it's at least possible to have a look without the hardware.

I like the look of the Fistful of Stars one, bet it would look great in VR
