WebXR is a pivotal technology that revolutionizes how we experience the web. WebXR blends virtual and augmented realities, bringing immersive experiences directly to our browsers. From transforming how we shop online to redefining educational and training environments, WebXR is setting the stage for the future of digital interaction. Find out how developers (including coding bootcamp graduates!) use WebXR and how to learn WebXR to become a WebXR developer.
WebXR is short for “Web Extended Reality” and it enables the creation of immersive experiences directly within web browsers. Whether you're exploring virtual worlds, interacting with augmented content overlaid on your surroundings, or experiencing mixed reality environments, WebXR can make these things possible!
With WebXR, developers can craft interactive experiences through web browsers. By leveraging JavaScript frameworks and libraries like A-Frame, Three.js, and Babylon.js, developers can build immersive virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications. These applications span a wide range of use cases, from educational simulations and virtual tours to e-commerce product visualization and real-time collaborative environments. Developers also appreciate how WebXR integrates with existing web technologies without requiring specialized hardware or software installations.
WebXR Developer and Coding Temple bootcamp graduate Lee describes how he uses WebXR on the job: “As soon as I started at Aktïga, I began working on some of the hardest stuff I've ever done in my life! I worked on 3D design and graphics using Blender and succeeded in building out my own custom teleportation component. It was really intense and exciting!”
Professionals skilled in WebXR technologies are in high demand across various industries. WebXR roles include:
As the demand for immersive digital experiences continues to grow, proficiency in WebXR opens doors to exciting career opportunities at the forefront of technology innovation.
While WebXR is a bit more specialized and not covered in many full stack coding bootcamps, there are programs that focus on preparing developers for AR/VR work:
Carrie Ybay, a Software Engineer at Holberton School also recommends beginners get an introduction to AR and VR by learning basic linear algebra through Khan Academy, and going through the free tutorials for Unity3D and Unreal Engine.
