SUMMARY

Develop WebXR experiences efficiently and effectively on Meta Quest with Immersive Web Emulator.

This browser extension provides a user-friendly interface and is capable of simulating all Meta Quest headsets, enabling developers to easily test and iterate their WebXR experiences without a physical XR device.

Key Features
- Interactive 3D viewport to easily transform manipulation of the VR headset and the controllers
- Simulate controller input, binary input (buttons), and analog input (trigger, grip, joysticks)
- Simulate hand input, including built-in hand poses and pinch gesture control
- Keyboard action mapping for added efficiency
- Keyboard input relay

The extension is built on top of the WebExtensions API, and implements the newly introduced Chrome Extension Manifest V3, which means that it will operate with enhanced security and performance on most Chromium-based desktop browsers.
