WebXR overview
Updated: Jul 21, 2026
Overview
WebXR enables a web page to enter an immersive VR or AR session in a compatible browser. On Meta Quest, WebXR is the immersive mode within the 3D web development path.
Use the Immersive Web SDK (IWSDK) as the primary path for building an immersive web experience. The IWSDK guides cover project creation, desktop emulation, headset testing, and deployment without requiring you to assemble that workflow from separate WebXR examples.
Start with IWSDK
- IWSDK overview: Learn about the frameworks and tools included with IWSDK.
- Project setup: Create an IWSDK project and start its development server.
- Testing an experience: Test with IWER on desktop and with a physical headset.
- Build and deploy: Build the project and deploy the hosted site.
WebXR standards and feature detection
Use runtime feature detection before offering an immersive session or relying on an optional WebXR capability. Do not infer WebXR support from the user-agent string.
For the standards and their development status, see the Immersive Web Working Group and the WebXR Device API explainer.
