Notes

• Requires a WebGL-compatible browser. The faster the phone the better. We recommend Google Cardboard V2-compatible headsets for best results. Tested with Mobile Safari and Firefox for iOS, and Firefox for Android, and Chrome on Android.
• Requires iOS 9.1 or greater. The faster the iPhone the better. Tested in Mobile Safari and Firefox for iOS. We recommend Google Cardboard V2-compatible headset for best results with iPhones.

Notes

Unfortunately, Macs are not recommended for consuming content with the Oculus Rift. Oculus froze Mac and Linux SDK development in the summer of 2015, and while the 0.5.0.1 SDK is still currently available from their developer site, newer versions of OS X are beginning to break support for the Rift DK2. We still use the 0.5.0.1 with our Macs on the MozVR team, but only during development, to test basics of tracking and scene composition. For actually consuming VR experiences, we use Windows PCs or our mobile phones.

If you experience difficulties getting WebVR to work properly, try the following:

1. Confirm that your headset is working properly with the built-in native Oculus demo app. It can be accessed through the Oculus Rift Configuration utility, and "Show Demo Scene." If the demo scene loads and tracks properly, it narrows the problem down to the browser.
2. Make sure you open the browser after plugging in the headset. WebVR browsers do not reliably support plug-and-play (yet), and can fail to recognize a VR headset if it is plugged in when the browser is already open.
3. Confirm that the WebVR enabler is installed and running. You can do this by checking Tools > Add-ons > Mozilla WebVR Enabler is present.
