Although content experiences rooted in virtual reality are still a ways off, Drupal is already on the vanguard of digital experiences involving emerging technologies such as WebVR and A-Frame. Intended to unify the variety of virtual reality devices now available on the market, such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and others, WebVR and A-Frame are compelling frameworks for virtual reality which allow for Drupal to shine through in an unprecedented fashion.

Join us as we explore these surprising digital experiences through the lens of virtual reality headsets and their rich integrations with Drupal. We'll examine the concepts and technologies which undergird WebVR and A-Frame, scrutinize the Drupal ecosystem available today for virtual reality, and finally showcase some prototypes and proofs of concept which demonstrate not only the current context of virtual reality for Drupal but also the unbridled potential for these experiences.

Here's what we'll cover:

  • The history of virtual reality and the web
  • Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and other headsets
  • WebVR, A-Frame, et al.
  • The A-Frame module (and other ongoing projects)
  • Prototypes and proofs of concept
  • Epilogue: Next steps for virtual reality and Drupal
