The release of the Wolvic 1.6 web browser is now available, designed for use in augmented and virtual reality systems. The project continues the development of the Firefox Reality browser, which was previously developed by Mozilla. After a stagnation of the Firefox Reality codebase, the development was taken over by Igalia, a company known for its involvement in free projects such as GNOME, GTK, WebKitGTK, Epiphany, GStreamer, Wine, Mesa, and freedesktop.org. The code for Wolvic is written in Java and C++, and is distributed under the MPLv2 license. Ready-made builds are available for the Android platform. It supports functionality with 3D headsets including Oculus, Huawei VR Glass, Lenovo VRX, Lenovo A3, HTC Vive Focus, Pico Neo, Pico4, Pico4E, Meta Quest Pro, Pico Neo3, and Lynx (porting of the browser for Qualcomm devices is also in progress). <\/p>\n

The browser uses the web engine GeckoView \u2014 a variant of the Mozilla Gecko engine, presented as a separate library that can be updated independently. Control is executed through a fundamentally different 3D user interface, allowing navigation through websites within a virtual world or as part of augmented reality systems. In addition to the interface designed for use with a 3D headset, which enables viewing traditional 2D pages, web developers can utilize the WebXR, WebAR, and WebVR APIs to create specialized 3D web applications that interact in virtual space. It also supports viewing spatial videos filmed in 360-degree mode in a 3D headset. <\/p>\n

Navigation is carried out using VR controllers, while data entry in web forms can be done using a virtual or physical keyboard. Additionally, a voice input system is available, enabling users to fill out forms and submit search queries using Mozilla's evolving speech recognition engine. As a start page, the browser provides an interface for accessing favorite content and navigating a collection of games, web applications, 3D models, and spatial videos adapted for 3D headsets. <\/p>\n
