WebVR Timing Capture

Transitioning to a WebVR session can take significant time. This is an attempt to track and document differences between platforms/browsers.


  1. Relax - this isn't a race, it's to see which bits hold up physical interactions rather than which is "the fastest one"
  2. (if possible) start a webcam so you can track what's happening between requesting and viewing content.
  3. Enter a run title, and click "start testing", you'll be taken to a WebVR sample page.
  4. Click "Enter VR" (it'll beep so you can hook into your video)
  5. Go through steps of getting into VR (putting phone in headset, headset on face etc)
  6. As soon as you can see VR content "click" anywhere you can
  7. Come back to this page, and you'll see some timing data below
  8. Refer to video for any extra timings/notes
  9. Add stuff to data.json and PR - or chuck it in an email/gist for me to include ❤️
