Come play with WebVR Experiments

Everyone should be able to experience VR, and WebVR is a big step in that direction. It’s open to all browsers, making it easier for developers to create something quickly and share it with everyone, no matter what device they’re on.

In February, we added WebVR to Chrome on Daydream-ready phones. Today, WebVR on Chrome now works with Google Cardboard, so that anyone with an Android phone and Cardboard can experience virtual worlds just by tapping a link.

To explore what’s possible with WebVR, we’re launching WebVR Experiments, a showcase of the amazing experiences developers are already building.

WebVR Experiments: Virtual reality on the web for everyone

WebVR Experiments: Virtual reality on the web for everyone

Each experiment shows shows something different you can try in WebVR. Play ping pong with a friend in Konterball.

Explore the world with your voice.

Play Spot-the-Bot, where one player searches for bots in VR with the help of another player outside VR.

Become a donut and try to wrap your fashionable scarf around hungry enemies.

These are just a few of the experiments you can try. If you don’t have Cardboard or Daydream, you can still play on desktop or on any phone in 2D. WebVR support on Chrome for desktop headsets like Oculus Rift and HTC VIVE is coming soon.

In addition to the experiments, developers can find resources and open source code to help get started building in WebVR. If you build something cool, submit it to be featured in the gallery.

We hope these experiments make it easier for more people to experience VR, and inspire more developers to create new VR worlds on the web.

Fast Drawing for Everyone

Drawing on your phone or computer can be slow and difficult—so we created AutoDraw, a new web-based tool that pairs machine learning with drawings created by talented artists to help you draw.

It works on your phone, computer, or tablet (and it’s free!). So the next time you want to make a birthday card, party invite or just doodle on your phone, it’ll be as easy and fast as everything else on the web.

If you’re interested in learning more about the magic behind AutoDraw, check out “Quick, Draw!” (one of our A.I. Experiments). AutoDraw’s suggestion tool uses the same technology to guess what you’re trying to draw.

Big thanks to the artists, designers, illustrators and friends of Google who created original drawings for AutoDraw.

If you are interested in submitting your own drawings, you can do that here. We hope that AutoDraw, our latest A.I. Experiment, will make drawing more accessible and fun for everyone.
