THE NEXT MEDIUM?
People don’t want to lug a computer with them to the beach or on a train to while away hours they would rather spend reading the sports or business section of the newspaper. Somehow, the microcomputer industry has assumed that everyone would love to have a keyboard grafted on as an extension of their
- fingers. It just is not so …
- New York Times, 1985
“ ”
The truth [is] no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place

will change the way government works. … Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure.

Seriously, people lived without it?
“I just tried HTC’s virtual reality headset Vive, and I’m certain we’re on the precipice of a major change in computing. This is going to change the world as we know it. Really.”

“ ”
I in no way think that VR is going to be like 3DTV. It’s already too far along and you see so much investment from all of the major players
- Kelly Alfieri — The New York Times’ VR Team
“ ”

Why WebVR?
No app install. No app store ecosystem drama.
Distribute your content direct to your audience.
It’s free to build with and open- source.
Headset agnostic means a wider audience.
Pairing WebVR with the IoT has HUGE potential!
You don’t even need to know JavaScript.
