    Good question.

    If so, I would imagine it would not work natively, and would instead require some special finagling in order to get the motion/directional input... at least, for WebGL this would certainly be the case. You would need to be able to access the Oculus motion/direction info and probably custom-convert it to translate the view(s)...

    Interesting.

    Looks like it will only work on Internet Explorer 11, however
