And it’s all done in glorious HTML5 and JavaScript.Įven better, it’s open-source so be sure to check out the source code on GitHub!īrowserQuest can be played by thousands of simultaneous players, distributed across different instances of the in-game world.

No princess to save here, just a dangerous world filled with treasures to discover. You play as a young warrior driven by the thrill of adventure. In 2022, Igalia took over stewardship of this project and are calling the project “Wolvic”.It’s time for some gaming action with a new HTML5 game demo: BrowserQuest, a massively multiplayer adventure game created by Little Workshop ( & and Mozilla.īrowserQuest is a tribute to classic video-games with a multiplayer twist. Since then, more mature standalone devices have entered much wider consumer markets and the Firefox Reality Browser project needed new investment, updates and nurturing. Firefox Reality was an interesting and important development that began in Mozilla Research while XR devices were still quite young. Wolvic begins a new branch of the evolutionary tree of the Firefox Reality Browser. Bugs can be filed on the GitHub repository. If you have one of these devices, you can help make this project successful, reach stable release sooner, help us enrich browser diversity in the XR space, and ensure the web remains important and vibrant in XR, by helping us test it out on your device. Join the pack: Help us make Wolvic a success Look for the Wolvic in the Huawei AppGallery, the Oculus App store, and the Pico Store, or you can download and build it yourself. We are also hoping to work with companies such Lenovo to get the browser running in their XR devices. Our first focus is on AOSP-based, stand-alone XR systems and HarmonyOS tethered systems, including: Huawei VR Glass, HTC Vive Focus, Oculus, Pico Interactive, Magic Leap 2, and Lynx. Wolvic rethinks content interaction in ways that make sense for XR. Instead of being limited to 2D surfaces, everything can be placed in 3D (including multiple 2D surfaces!). How we interact with content in XR is fundamentally different than interacting on a mobile device or desktop computer. Wolvic is built for XR, and that matters. Wolvic also lets you find immersive stuff on the web and jump into it. You don’t want to leave the immersive environment to access it. It’s true that XR is full of interesting things, but huge amount of information is already on the web and will continue to be created on the web. WebXR, too, will offer opportunities to continue to expand XR (eXtended Reality), in the model of the Web - and that is most ideally experienced through a browser built for XR. …and our sponsors and contributors Why a web browser in XR?īecause entering a virtual experience should NOT exclude you from accessing the vast resources the Web has to offer.
