Google Is Delving Into a Chrome VR Feature

For the VR-savvy amongst us, the era of having to remove your headset when surfing non-WebVR sites will soon be a thing of the past as Google is working on a Chrome version that allows you to browse the entire web with VR on Android devices. The tech giant is making moves to find a lasting solution to the lack of support for non-WebVR sites.

According to reports from Road to VR, the latest versions of Chrome Beta and Chrome Dev for Android devices now support the open source WebVR standard. Chrome Beta has a WebVR setting which enables VR devices to be compatible with VR websites.
The Dev version has a VR Shell feature which is not fully functional yet, but there are speculations that it will start working when Google releases its Daydream platform in the future.

This version allows browsing with VR on all websites, including those that are not initially designed for VR. To enjoy this cool feature, a Cardboard headset or the upcoming Google Daydream viewer, and a device that support VR are required.
The Daydream platform was announced at I/O developer conference 2 months ago and it is built on the basis of both hardware and software optimizations in order to present users with a more engaging VR experience.
Google revealed that it is working on a version of Chrome that supports the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift for Chrome desktop users.
