Yes, but this specific VR feature only works with Facebook's oculus ecosystem. Did you just happen to completely ignore the article we're commenting on?
I would find it shameful if Mozilla added the ftp feature back into Firefox, but only on Windows.
It is self evident that if they release on a vr device, it needs to support vr. There is no FOSS VR device. Because not even SteamVR, which is practically abandoned, is FOSS.
They could have made a VR version of the engine that runs in all the same places but shows the editor using OpenXR. It would work with fully open source setups like Monado, but also on compliant android headsets and steamVR.
EDIT: After reading the article, I realized that this is better replicated by something like wlx-overlay and is replicating desktop style VR development on a mobile platform. Would have liked to see it work on HTC and Pico headsets as well though.
Monado is for SteamVR which isn't FOSS either.
No. Monado is it's own openXR runtime. You can use it without steamVR being installed.
Oh really? Here's one that's actively developed .
That is for making Steam VR apps which aren't FOSS either.
