Hoverboard MR
The official WebXR ride. Press Start checks the signed candidate, beta access, and this device before offering a mode.
in-progress
Eddie Studio (preview)
Staged voice and generative workspace. Source surfaces are visible at /studio; runtime, provider, and output proof remain separate gates.
available
VR Living Calendar
iCal feed of the entries on /the-future: one all-day marker per entry on its launch, pre-order or announcement date, with the expected window, confidence and hype score in the description; rumours are TENTATIVE. Nothing is pushed to it beyond what the page lists.
gated
BYOS (bring-your-own-storage)
Documentation and adapter source are available. Account consent, Drive connection, and runtime commissioning are still required before storage is usable.
★ Week of Jul 27, 2026
Assembling the PREBETA-01 candidate without promoting it.
This week the shared capability contract, guest-first product map, native shells, and representative first-flight ride are being verified as one exact candidate. Hosted previews are evidence artifacts; commissioning, real-device acceptance, sealing, and production promotion remain separate gates.

What it is
One browser entry. candidate. Only proven modes.
VR Eddie's experience is one evolving WebXR product with presentation modes that are accepted separately. Press Start checks the signed candidate, this browser, beta access, and the evidence for this device before it offers a mode.
Quest, Vision Pro, desktop, and mobile are separate evidence classes. Success on one never claims support for another.
No store install on a supported web path. A URL starts the check; it does not guarantee immersive mode, passthrough, input, performance, Eddie, storage, or compute. Unsupported and unverified paths stay unavailable with a readable return route.
What you can do
Six capabilities the beta is designed to prove.
01 · CARVE
Real-room hoverboard
The beta is building toward a ride that can meet your space. Room-aware and passthrough modes remain gated until the current candidate proves them safely.
02 · INPUT
Five input modes
Controllers, hands, gaze, keyboard, gamepad, and touch are separate capability checks. The launch never treats one successful mode as proof of another.
03 · OPEN
Open WebXR standard
Built on Three.js and the W3C WebXR interfaces, with a readable browser fallback when immersive entry is unavailable.
04 · NO INSTALL
Just a URL
The supported web path needs no store install. Press Start still verifies the release channel, invitation, candidate, and device before entry.
05 · PERFORMANCE
Tuned for headset framerates
Performance targets are not public benchmarks. Named-device evidence, reduced-motion behavior, and truthful fallback must pass for each accepted candidate.
06 · LIVE BUILD
Promoted with evidence
A new build does not inherit acceptance. Each candidate is sealed, tested, reviewed, and promoted through a signed record before Press Start can select it.
Where it runs
Four presentation classes. Four separate evidence gates.
Candidate check required
Meta Quest 3 / 3S
Immersive, passthrough, controller, and hand-input states are shown only when the accepted candidate proves them on this hardware.
Candidate check required
Apple Vision Pro
Spatial presentation and input remain explicit beta evidence gates; unsupported modes fall back or stay unavailable.
Candidate check required
Android phone (ARCore Chrome)
Handheld WebXR AR entry and placement appear only when the accepted candidate proves them on a certified device; uncertified phones get the honest camera fallback and install guidance.
Native AR lanes
iPhone and iPad (Safari)
Safari has no WebXR, so AR runs through Apple's lanes — Quick Look today, the App Clip when the candidate and console setup prove it; the browser keeps the touch 3D ride.
Browser fallback evaluated
Desktop browser
Keyboard, mouse, gamepad, browser, and rendering support are checked on the exact candidate rather than promised across every desktop.
Touch fallback evaluated
Mobile browser
Mobile browser and touch usability are candidate-specific and appear only when the launch gate has current support evidence.
How to play
Three steps. About thirty seconds.
1 · Press Start
The website checks the signed release channel, your beta access, and the exact candidate before creating a short-lived handoff.
2 · Choose Tutorial or Fly Now
When the candidate offers these paths, the tutorial explains the controls that this device actually exposed. Unavailable paths stay unavailable.
3 · Enter the supported mode
Immersive entry appears only after a runtime capability check. A readable browser presentation and return path remain available when the candidate supports them.
Primer
What's a WebXR mixed-reality experience?
WebXR is the open web standard that lets a browser request an immersive presentation when the browser and hardware expose it. VR Eddie checks that capability at runtime; a brand or device name alone is never treated as proof.
Mixed reality can blend digital content with a real room, but passthrough, spatial access, and input permissions vary by browser and candidate. Those modes stay visibly gated until device evidence and consent are present.
We built this lab to test the limits of browser-delivered XR with real product art, real physics, and a real character rig. The experiments below are what shipped; the dated snapshot is the last thing we were playing with.
Heads up
This is an experimental lab.
This is an unsealed pre-beta candidate, not a universal compatibility promise. Review supported hardware and known limitations before launch. If something breaks, use the private problem-report flow so diagnostics remain off unless you explicitly preview and add them.
