They can build entirely new worlds for audiences to experience and enjoy. <\/p>\n<p>From rich text to video to podcasts, the Internet era offers an array of new ways for creators to build worlds. Here at Mozilla, we are particularly excited about virtual reality. Imagine moving beyond watching or listening to a story; imagine also feeling that story. Imagine being inside it with your entire mind and body. Now imagine sharing and entering that experience with something as simple as a web URL. That\u2019s the potential before us. <\/p>\n<p>To fully realize that potential, we need people who think big. We need artists and developers and engineers who are driven to push the boundaries of the imagination. We need visionaries who can translate that imagination into virtual reality. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/reggie-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2018\/04\/reggie-1.png 900w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2018\/04\/reggie-1-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2018\/04\/reggie-1-768x341.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2018\/04\/reggie-1-600x267.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The sky is the limit with virtual reality, and we\u2019re driven to serve as the bridge that connects artists and developers. We are also committed to providing those communities with the tools and resources they need to begin building their own worlds. Love working with Javascript? Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/aframe.io\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A-Frame framework<\/a>. Do you prefer building with Unity? We have created a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozvr.com\/webvr-using-unity\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">toolkit<\/a> to bring your VR Unity experience to the web with WebVR.<\/p>\n<p>We believe browsers are the future of virtual and augmented reality. The ability to click on a link and enter into an immersive, virtual world is a game-changer. This is why we held our \u2018VR the People\u2019 panel at the Sundance Film Festival, and why we will be at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York next week. We want to connect storytellers with this amazing technology. If you\u2019re at Tribeca (or just in the area), please reach out. We\u2019d love to chat.<\/p>\n<p>This concludes our four part series about virtual reality, storytelling, and the open web. It\u2019s our mission to empower creators, and we hope these posts have left you inspired. If you\u2019d like to watch our entire VR the People panel.
