Virtual Reality headsets are becoming more and more accessible to consumers, offering an immersive computing platform with both new opportunities and challenges.

Diego will give an overview of upcoming standards, new types of Web experiences and tools for content creation. There will be a demo station at the end for anybody to try web based VR experiences.
