| Warren McQuinn | My primary goal is to connect with other excited developers and web evangelists to understand how VR and the Internet will interact. As developers, we need to work together to share our visions -- because our shared vision will become web reality. By connecting with enthusiastic web natives, we will be focusing our energies on creating Web + Virtual Reality standards to improve the world as this technology is adopted. And it is being adopted faster than ever! I really want to get more involved. |
| Paul Higgs | Listen and collaborate with other industry professionals with a goal of determining where standardized interfaces and/or APIs can be created and implemented while preserving the existing content workflow systems (to as greater degree as possible) |
| Jeffrey Sonstein | my primary goal: to help the community move towards, at a minimum, developing common/standard ways to distribute immersive VR content via the Web. my aim is to help free hardware makers to compete on the strengths of their hardware rather than on the artists in their walled gardens & to enable the work of artists to have the widest possible audience. |
| Ningxin Hu | I proposed two workshop topics. They are: 1) Handling of new and heterogeneous input methods for VR (gamepad, hand position, …); and 2) 3D video capture (3D camera) and processing (e.g. scene perception). I'd like to brainstorm about the two topics with other attendees. I also want to learn feedbacks from other attendees about the other topics like displaying stereoscopic content, JS API, 360 content and AR&VR etc., |
| Diego Marcos | Being able to make faster decisions in particular areas that have been discussed for while. The in person setup will allow us to move faster. I also want to meet people face to face that I only met via email. |

| Rebecca Gregory-Clarke | Having used Web VR for one project, I have seen how it might be a good alternative to app-based, propriety VR builds. It is interesting from a user perspective because there may be a lower barrier to entry if people can simply access the content through a browser, and it is interesting from a creation and delivery point of view as it potentially represents a one-build-fits-all approach. On the other hand, I have also seen some of the limitations it has in terms of performance, and at present it seems to provide a much less stable outcome than some of the alternatives. I hope to be able to represent some of the challenges we have come across, and help identify areas where improvements could be made, with a view to doing more experiments in the future. |
| Nola Donato | I would like to work on ways to make the web browsers more performant in VR situations, perhaps by providing higher level abstractions for 3D than WebGL. I am also interested in developing immersive experiences for the mobile VR on the web and ways to connect browser based applications with native mobile applications. And I want to grow my network in VR. |
| Weidner Klaus | meet other WebVR platform developers and users, including learning about challenges and solutions for the range of platforms from mobile to desktop roomscale. |
| Olivier Thereaux | With my BBC hat on, I mostly want the workshop to help me understand the gap between "native" and web for viable VR experiences, and know where we should focus our energy to make VR open to all, interoperable etc. As AC rep, I hope the workshop helps direct future work on the web platform to address those gaps. |
| Brandon Jones | Communicate with others that are interested in WebVR and help chart a direction for future iterations of the spec. |
| Tom Kim | Want observe technical discussion and get insight of market trends. |
| Jensen Paul | MovieLabs is a non-profit research and development joint venture started by the six major motion picture studios. For the past year I have been investigating VR issues pertinent to the Studios, especially workflow and standards gaps. This workshop is highly relevant to those activities. My goals are to share the knowledge I've gathered on VR with like-minded individuals, and to help form a consensus of the most practical steps in the short- and mid-term. |

| Brendan Long | We want to learn about what technologies W3C is considering for this space, and find out if there are any activities we should be participating in (especially regarding transmission formats, VR content delivery, and real-time VR communication). We're also interested in ways to speed up HTML / JavaScript rendering and reduce lag, since VR will need very high frame rates to be comfortable (and we use HTML5 for user interfaces sometimes, so even without VR it would be nice..). |
| Nell Waliczek | Connecting with people exploring VR on the Web to better understand how the platform will be used. |
| Mike Assenti | Understand how VR technologies map to W3C standards |
| Laszlo Gombos | Collaborate with other VR/AR vendors Standardize some of the solutions available in VR Browser across other players Architecture design, Travel, Productivity in VR |

| Michael Blix | Primary focus of figuring out nearer-term WebVR 1.0 spec details, use cases for WebVR integrating with other web platform pieces i.e. progressive web apps. Discussion of next steps beyond WebVR 1.0 |
| Nat Brown | I'd like to hear more perspectives about how WebVR and the frameworks over it might mature or how they are creating compelling content already that I haven't yet seen. It is very easy coming at VR content from the high-end headset and from a game-engine perspective to believe that WebVR has an insurmountable amount of game-engine features (advanced rendering, shaders, physics simulation, etc) to implement to be able to create compelling content. I'm hoping to park that viewpoint so I can ingest more from the community and take it back to share inside Valve. |

3. Workshop Goals
What goals or outcomes do you think the workshop should focus on to be productive?
Details
| Responder | Workshop Goals |
|---|---|
| Megan Lindsay | |
| Charles LaPierre | Clear understanding of what WG/IG/CG are developing VR standards and any sub groups that exist which one may wish to join. |
| David Dorwin | 1. Identify specific topics/areas for further investigation/discussion/development. 2. Identify people interested in contributing to that process in each area. 3. Identify the appropriate forum (e.g. Community Group) for each area. 4. If necessary, prioritize the topics/areas/needs. |
| Smus Boris | |
| Josh Carpenter | 1) Consensus reached on solutions to immediate high-priority platform needs. Eg: WebVR 1.0 API, input, site-to-site link traversal mechanisms, new developer hooks, etc. 2) Discussion of longer-term roadmap: where do we believe the platform should be going, big picture? 3) From both of those discussions, identification of future platform upgrades, features, etc. |
| Don Brutzman | 1. Interoperability of VR content with Web standards. 2. Need to carefully define personal/public safety and health issues associated with VR usage, which are frequently overlooked or ignored by VR devices. |
| Warren McQuinn | * Empowering developers to describe the web standards that would make their visions possible; more importantly, enabling developers to give feedback on proposed standards. * Encouraging productive conversations about web standards, without being hung up on petty complaints. * Ensuring that all attendees are on the same page by using web technologies to track presentations, materials, etc. * Energizing the crowd, because everyone loves a fun conference :) while still maintaining a respectful, peaceful, and accessible environment. |
| Paul Higgs | The workshop should hopefully identify what the current *desire* from the market is and what the state of the art is in attaining that. There are existing gaps in solution/service integrations and the measures to counter those are somewhat burdened by the lack of standards. |
| Jeffrey Sonstein | 1) common standards for distribution of immersive VR over the Web in a hardware-agnostic way. 2) agreement on a common and cross-platform metaphor to replace WIMP for user navigation and experience control interface elements. |
| Ningxin Hu | Making the consensus of the kay Web VR use cases. Scoping the area of CG. Plan the road map of CG to WG. |
| Diego Marcos | Collect all the use cases across the industry in order to make better informed API decisions in the future. |
| Alban Denoyel | Give every participant an opportunity to share their ideas and wish-list, and then come up with priorities in terms of roadmap. |
| Timothy Duncan | The deployment of VR/AR on web platforms comes with very specific challenges and opportunities both. |
| Amber Roy | |
| Hongchan Choi | - Browser interoperability: browser vendors need to talk about why the playback of different codec is a hard problem for web developers. - VR experience on mobile web: what's blocking us? what's the best practice? - The seamless user experience across the platform: what do we need to have to offer the identical UX to the other native platforms (e.g. iOS, Android)? |
| FENGZHI PAN | The progress, ongoing and roadmap of the standards, implementations and applications of WebVR. |
| Ashish Agrawal | WebVR 101, Industry trends, systemic support in the form of compatible browsers, UX best practices |
| Neil Trevett | Help move the AR and VR industry forward by ensuring we create the right standards at the right time. In particular, focus on next practical steps |
| Simon Gunkel | - Steer interaction between participants - Identify what the current status in terms of technical limitations and commercial interest - Set specific goals for standardisation based on technical limitations and commercial interest |
| Rebecca Gregory-Clarke | I would like the workshop to first identify and evaluate what VR support is currently being implemented on the web, and look at how this can be made more consistent (between browsers and devices/OS). I would also like to identify what would make the biggest difference in the short - medium term. I would like to know what attendees feel is the long-term vision is for web and VR, but I would also like to identify a select number of things that will make the most practical difference in the short term. |
| Nola Donato | Adapting web browsers to allow high performance 3D experiences with novel input devices. |
| Weidner Klaus | enhancing communication and collaboration among stakeholders |
| Olivier Thereaux | Main expected goals and outcomes for the workshop are, in no particular order: * Address device / capability detection - web-based VR on e.g. smartphones suffers from lack of "VR mode" detection which for instance causes the device to go to sleep in the middle of the VR experience. Also related is a requirement for device capability detection around spatial audio (e.g. know when headphones are in use versus speakers etc). Understand relation with proposed output device API. * Gather requirements for future work in the Audio WG - the group will be starting a scoping phase for v2 of the web audio specification, and web VR should be a major use case in prioritising features such as custom HRTF, better reverb etc. * Understand where performance issues can be alleviated by new specs - web-based VR suffer from a number of performance issues at the moment, especially with things like mapping video to webGL, seeking etc. * Understand the boundaries of potential work at the W3C - which of the concerns of the full 360/VR toolchain may belong on the web platform, and which is out of scope for now. |
| Brandon Jones | Ways to thoughtfully evolve WebVR's capabilities to handle a wider range of abilities without becoming overly hardware specific. |
| Tom Kim | How to build standard to support vr/AR content creation/distribution |
| Jensen Paul | 1) come up with a couple of realistic end-to-end VR use cases (e.g. live 360° broadcast) 2) identify technology gaps that need to be filled to enable those use cases |
| Rafael Cintron | |
| Diogo Cortiz | I hope the primary goal of the workshop would make Open Web Platform a good environment for Virtual Reality experiences. I also would like to identify opportunities and trends to strengthen the development of technology in Brazil |
| David Price | As above |
| Mike Schmit | Create draft standards for the workflows involved in real-time 360 video broadcast. Create draft standards for the authoring and distribution of 360 video |
| Philipp Slusallek | Define the role of WebVR/AR in the Web and graphics landscape Identify key use-cases in different markets that we should focus on first What is needed for better AR/VR support in the browsers Discuss areas of standardization, how different SDOs relate, how to proceed Do not limit this to VR but also explore AR as an extension |

| lulin chen | |
| Michael Blix | High priority needs of the web platform with consensus on immediate next steps. |
| Nat Brown | It is early for VR, so I think the main goal should be to have lots of people meeting each other and having small conversations to get in sync and exchange contact information. I would find long presentations or allowing too many diatribes around abstract scenarios that are conceptually/academically interesting but haven't been tested with real prototypes and real people to be less productive. |
| Xiaosong Zhou | |
| Dean Jackson | I think the goal should be to start a WebVR Working Group at W3C, as soon as possible. |

| Brian Chirls | There are a few topics that I don't think have been addressed sufficiently in the various online community venues: - How to invite and support diversity among VR creators, audiences and contributors to specs and implementations. - Design and technology strategies for accommodating a range of technology, physical abilities and socioeconomic factors, even as we incorporate the most advanced devices and software. - Ways to publicize the benefits of the web as a VR platform to media outlets and funders who may only be familiar with proprietary game engines and spherical video - How to promote discoverability of WebVR experiences and improve on-boarding. |
| Christopher Baron | Unreal engine, unity or other? How to make the right decision from the beginning? Practical business cases for vr applications. Over coming the obstacles of streaming high bitrate content on limited network infrastructure. |
| Louay Bassbouss | - Identify the different device classes and the different requirements for efficient 360° video streaming and playback in the Web. For example in case of head mounted displays, the 20ms motion-to-photon-latency needs to be considered but not necessary for TVs and Desktop when keyboard or TV remote control are used to change the viewport in 360° video. - Which existing APIs can be used and if extensions to these APIs are needed. For example the Media Source Extension is a good candidate for pre-rendered 360° video content but there are some additional events needed for a smooth video playback. |
| Jaakko Manninen | |
| Matthew Szatmart | Discussion of 360 video standards, as well as web gl mirroring/ command streaming |

| Philip Rosedale | What will be needed for VR to reach mainstream (1B+) internet usage? |
| Dan Sun | Collect key VR use cases, challenges and requirements, scope the priority list for standardization and browser support. |
| Roshan Vidyashankar | - How concepts of the web (eg, URLs) could map to the VR Web. What would it mean to “browse” in VR? - Programming/developer tools for VR. Can we “view source” and edit scenes in VR? - Discussions around good UX for VR. |
| Adalberto Foresti | Attendees and presenters should not be afraid to think big in terms of what's possible in the medium/long term, but personally I am more curious about current challenges and actionable ideas that the market is (or soon will be) ready to respond to. |
| Stoyan Nikolov | 1. Define the future roadmap of WebVR/AR 2. Show more real-world use cases of WebVR 3. Share between participants the industry trends and needs of the different parties involved |

| Sue-Ann Ma | Working groups to continue identifying applications of the technology and working on best practice methodologies for implementing these resources in an accessible manner. |
| Olli Etuaho | Discuss how to design the APIs and the underlying SW architecture so that low latency and generally good performance can be achieved. I believe the best productivity will be reached if the workshop concentrates on delivering VR on the web via low-level primitives on top of which a variety of complex solutions may be built (similar to design philosophy of WebGL), and leveraging existing working web APIs. |
| Chris Hebert | Use cases Data streaming/File formats. |
| Jim Bricker | Brainstorm using IDEO approaches. Create an outline and process for a standard. |
| Mahesh Kulkarni | |
| Zohaib Ahmed | I think the workshop could consolidate discussion among people in various segments that surround VR development. Not only from the software side, but the challenges that are faced by content producers, hardware engineers, and designers. |
| Amal Prabhu | Delivering high quality streaming video content, 3D formats, Obstacles to high framerate rendering of 3D in browsers and are there opportunities or efforts going on to improve better text rendering. |

| Casey Yee | The community has grown, and there are major players at the table. We want to work towards establishing a common ground that is agreeable to everyone, but also fits within the spirit of the web. |
| Luc Courchesne | How to invite and support a new generation of artists in the bold exploration of the new territories for experience. |
| Thomas Balouet | The workshop should first define, with all the participants, a roadmap of the needed features in order to deliver WebVR to the public in a good form as soon as possible. We should also discuss of the possibilities of tomorrow, and take those possibilities into account in order to not only develop for tomorrow, but also the day after, and avoid possible loophole of future uses. Finally, we should discuss on which features would be the most needed (link transversal, user inputs, security) and how we should develop them. |
| Scott Squires | Getting most out of 360 video on the web. Leveraging the web for VR experiences and interactions. |
| Fabien Benetou | WebVR is now all about interconnectivity. Delivering VR content on the web already works, collaborating in VR on the web already works. Now the missing part and what will clearly give an edge to webVR is how to link content together and not just as a technical proof of concept but rather as a mechanism that can scale to the size of the biggest largest human construct : the Internet. If we don't have a clear roadmap for link traversal and keeping consistency through (e.g. via shared avatar or items) then the workshop will not be productive. |
| Loc Dao | The workshop needs to map out the next year in webVR and make that roadmap public. And come out with clear priorities around what will let this be accepted as a valid platform. This can be aided by defining a story+tech strategy on how to bring in experience and content creators like us the NFB because our work using webVR technology will be the best ambassadors for this. |
| Shahmeer Esmail | Discuss options, issues, success stories and failures associated with designing and implementing low level graphics/VR APIs that can reliably detect and correctly and efficiently utilize a wide variety of hardware with many different operating systems and browsers. |

| Michael Chen | Understand applicability of and plans for W3C technologies in VR (and AR/MR) Best practices and implementation guidelines for W3C technologies in VR (and AR/MR) |
| Paola Moretto | |
| Ravi Gidwani | |
| Yon Chung | Many Hands on activity allowing participants to actively engage |

| Nikolai Leung | Overall vision of VR experience (minimum requirements/performance) for low-, mid-, and high-end use cases & applications. |
| Clifford Champion | How to ensure Web + VR is friendly for many types of VR and non-VR devices. How to make sure Web + VR is not just about VR delivered through the web, but rather stays still inherently the Web (e.g. easy hyperlinking, easy user content creation, etc.), simply with the benefits of VR. |
| alexandre jenny | |
| Doug Twilleager | I would like to see the workshop help provide a roadmap for WebVR could go next. I'd also like to see the workshop outline a set of projects which would help developers and content providers more easily create, integrate, and deploy WebVR enabled content. |

| Gilbert Montague | I believe that a discussion on how to integrate VR effectively and efficiently into existing software would be especially beneficial for myself. In general, I believe that focusing on how to make VR applications work well using HTML and in the browser would be useful to the widespread web development community. |
| Tom Flynn | I'm most curious about how motion-to-photon latency can/will be resolved given the sandbox WebGL applications must live in. |
| Kieran Farr | * Alignment on end-user goals and objectives - do we know what end-users want? Do our initiatives support that? * Agreement on basic standards for streaming media. Finally there is a start to have metadata defined in mp4 container to indicate type of asset. However streaming of point clouds or other "VR" streaming formats appear to be a "wild west" and could benefit from a discussion of how to align these. |

| Don Brutzman | Web3D Consortium is in planning stages to hold a VR Hackathon over the weekend to complement activities and importance of this workshop. |
| Warren McQuinn | When I put on a VR headset, I know I'm entering the future. Sure, it's not a jetpack -- it's more like I'm picking up the best book I've ever read that never ends. Virtual Reality can provide limitless entertainment, and more importantly, unlimited information. It's up to web developers to design for the future. We must ensure that knowledge is available to everyone who seeks it. Designing standards for VR will affect every single user, because of how intertwined technology and society are. For example: I've been playing "Rec Room" on Steam with my HTC Vive. There are social standards that I didn't know about, but quickly picked up on: when you finish a virtual game, you are brought face-to-face with your opponent(s). You can high-five. You can fist-bump. And most importantly, you can immediately VoIP chat with them. These interactions will be commonplace across the web, but a dedicated group of developers will need to establish standards that improve the quality and civility of Virtual Reality interactions. We can make the Virtual Reality world a better place. |

| Philip Rosedale | High Fidelity (my company) is attempting to build an open-source, standards-based VR server and client. Beyond the standards that are out there already today, what else is needed? If millions of VR 'sites' are accessed by billions of end-users, what standards will be needed to best help that growth? |

| pablo mendigochea | I encourage you to check out the Moverio BT-300. It is a very capable device for WebVR. There are a number of webinars on the Epson moverio youtube channel i have done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MsjOhzEvq8&list=PLyXqcW1HsHRlY6rKQ3w3HvhJp0DEy3Flr |

| satender saroha | VR development is in very early stages, lots of technical challenges and opportunities. Having a vibrant community and forums to collaborate across the pipeline from camera capture, stitching, to playing in webvr enabled browsers is super critical. |
| Casey Yee | There are obvious steps that we need to take for WebVR standardization, and decisions around specific needs. I think we should talk about these issues, but given the broad group of people/companies being represented, It should be kept higher-level and more inclusive discussion. We could easily loose people in the weeds otherwise. And really, let's just have fun. |
| Luc Courchesne | As curator of the IX symposium T SAT in June 2017, I will be in a position to invite WebVr on center stage. |
| Thomas Balouet | One of the other thoughts I have, and which have been shared among other profiles too, is the need to find a global vocabulary for those new techniques we're using. From how to call what the user sees in his headset to the variables and methods in the code. |
| Scott Squires | |
| Fabien Benetou | I've chatted with most of the webVR crowd via Slack, github, Twitter, IRC, etc. It would be nice to finally meet face to face. |
| Loc Dao | Our studio has developed interactive projects for 7 years and VR since 2014. We have used mainly Unity and Unreal except for a custom engine Kraken that Kearwood from Mozilla developed for one of our projects. And one project where we used webGL before webVR was very official. All this to say, our success has come from the web and our funding is public so we're very vested in supporting the open standards of the web. |
| Shahmeer Esmail | |
| James Baicoianu | |
| Michael Chen | The big question IMO is whether standardized frameworks can be agreed for VR that still allow diversity in approach and implementation like Media Source Extensions have for media playback... |
| Paola Moretto | Performance is crucial for the success of the VR experience. 10% degradation can make the difference from a happy experience to a terrible experience that includes physical discomfort. There should be a focus area / topic on performance. |
| Ravi Gidwani | |

| David Chavez | |
| Kato Kenji | Often today many people are focused on VR applications that target the consumer market. But many overlook harder applications such as scientific research, industrial applications, and use cases outside of the traditional gaming and touring uses. Give that many VR applications have existed for these areas only in labs and back rooms, the marage of new tech on the web offers new possibilities for brining these applications to a larger user bases. |

| Dana Dansereau | It is an exciting time. As WebVR becomes a viable platform -- one with many interconnected spaces -- the UX, the story design and storytelling conventions established by the W3C will need significant shepherding by storytellers. We can provide one of those voices. |
| Brandel Zachernuk | |
| Shannon Norrell | I also have interest in GLTF and seeing that become a standard |
| Erica Layton | It would be great to discuss roomscale webVR! |
| Charles Cross | |
| Gilbert Montague | |
| Tom Flynn | |
| Kieran Farr | Seeing huge interest from consumer and prosumers for 360º video and photography. I think WebVR is essential to supporting these experiences without requiring proprietary applications. |
| Giorgio Mazzucchelli | Possibility to attend the workshop remotely, in streaming, or as a webinar. |
