Immersive Web Emulator: Simulate Meta Quest Devices for WebXR Development
Immersive Web Emulator is a browser extension designed to assist developers in creating WebXR experiences specifically for Meta Quest devices. This free Chrome extension offers a user-friendly interface and allows developers to simulate all Meta Quest headsets, enabling them to easily test and iterate their WebXR projects without needing a physical XR device.
One of the key features of Immersive Web Emulator is its interactive 3D viewport, which allows developers to easily manipulate the VR headset and controllers. The extension also provides the ability to simulate controller input, including binary input (buttons) and analog input (trigger, grip, joysticks). Additionally, developers can simulate hand input, complete with built-in hand poses and pinch gesture control.
To enhance efficiency, Immersive Web Emulator offers keyboard action mapping, allowing developers to map keyboard inputs for quicker testing and debugging. The extension also supports keyboard input relay, ensuring a seamless experience during development.
Developed on top of the WebExtensions API and implementing the Chrome Extension Manifest V3, Immersive Web Emulator offers enhanced security and performance on most Chromium-based desktop browsers.
To use Immersive Web Emulator, simply download the extension and navigate to a WebXR app. Once launched, the extension will simulate the specified Meta Quest device, allowing developers to control the emulated device through the developer tool panel's "WebXR" tab.
