Due to the dedication and few updates to VR for the year's I/O conference, Google is now ready to unveil the WebVR API to developers seeking to establish engaging experiences into their web apps.

For the meantime, the support is only available to Android and Daydream but will eventually support desktop VR platforms and Google Cardboard with Chrome's next version.
Evidently, Daydream is the best example for Google since the device is a direct Virtual Reality extension for Android which bestows Daydream-ready Android handset owners the power to link with VR apps in a consolidated means. Generally speaking, it will become awesome for Android users but what's most significant are the unification and carrying it out through platforms with the exertion of the WebVR standard.
Moreover, Android Headlines noted that it is the component that will make it possible for consumers to connect to VR content straight from web apps and websites. Lately, the Samsung Gear VR saw assistance as supplementary for the Samsung internet app and seems like the WebVR AP has been integrated to the Google's Chrome beta version for Android.
The announcement for the newly added support was made earlier by Google in a blog post and disclosed that the beta version eyes the WebVR API being integrated with Chrome 56.
For developers who assume to establish a bit more 3D into the web, Jones points to the WebVR developer site for tutorials as well as examples and even the Chromium bug tracker for feedback and particularly on Chrome fulfillment.
