Imagine a world where your favorite websites float in mid-air, responding to your gaze and hand gestures. No, this isn't science fiction – it's the future of web browsing in virtual reality. But here's the plot twist: these websites aren't 3D models or immersive environments. They're the same 2D websites we use every day, reimagined for a VR-first world.

In this eye-opening talk, Jorrik challenges the notion that VR web development means creating complex 3D spaces. Instead, they explore how traditional websites need to evolve to meet the unique demands of VR browsing. From rethinking navigation without keyboards to optimizing layouts for eye-tracking, this session dives deep into the principles of VR-first web design and development.

Attendees will gain practical insights into creating VR-friendly websites, backed by Jorrik's hands-on experience with the Apple Vision Pro. They'll learn how to build a compelling business case for VR-first development, ensuring their skills remain cutting-edge in this rapidly evolving landscape. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to elevate your web projects into the VR realm – no 3D modeling required.

This talk explores adapting 2D websites for VR browsing, covering practical design principles and development techniques. Using an Apple Vision Pro I will share a demo, offering insights into next-gen web experiences. The session will be interactive, with audience participation and live VR website examples. It's relevant for developers of all levels, bridging current web practices with future VR trends.
