WebXR (the open web standard for running VR experiences in a web browser) lets you ship to desktop and all VR devices at once, and users can access your experience instantly through a link. No app store, no downloads. On Meta Quest alone, an average of one million users every month engage with WebXR experiences.
The web is also uniquely suited for AI-assisted development. There's no lengthy compile step, so the AI can write code, reload, and see results instantly, iterating through multiple cycles without your input. That makes it a great place to start, especially if you're new to VR development.

You don’t have to look far to find reports of people who have used VR headsets and then felt ‘off’ after removing them. While motion sickness is surely the most well-known post-VR symptom, a subset of people say they have experienced feelings of being ‘stuck in VR’ after taking off their headsets. It’s tempting to brush off such reports as someone having seen The Matrix (1999) one too many times, but it turns out there is a clear scientific basis for the sensation.
