Published new versions of web browsers Gecko Wolvic 1.9 and Chromium Wolvic 1.3, intended for use in augmented and virtual reality systems. Browsers provide a 3D interface for navigating websites using a 3D headset, and, in addition to traditional flat pages, allow web developers to create 3D web applications for virtual reality systems using the WebXR, WebAR and WebVR APIs. The differences between the browsers come down to the fact that Gecko Wolvic uses the web engine GeckoView, and Chromium Wolvic uses the Chromium engine.
Navigation in the browser interface is carried out using VR controllers or through eye tracking, and virtual data is used to enter data into web forms. a keyboard or voice input system that allows you to fill out forms and submit search queries using an evolving speech recognition system. You can view spatial videos captured in 360 degree mode in the browser. As a start page, the browser provides an interface for accessing selected content and navigating through the collection, adapted for 3D-helmet games, web applications, 3D models and spatial videos.
Ready assemblies are formed for the Android platform and support 3D-helmets such as Huawei VR Glass, Huawei Vision Glass, VIVE Focus, Lynx R1, Lenovo A3, Magic Leap 2, Meta Quest 2/3/Pro, Oculus Quest and Pico 4/4E. In testing mode, it can be launched on a regular Android smartphone without a 3D helmet. The Wolvic code is written in Java and C++, and distributed under the MPLv2 license.
