Great to hear!
We did not implement an immersive WebXR-like solution. You will still see
your old web browser but now objects can be placed around it. There is no
WebGL involved. Slide 26 and 27 from your presentation
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ORdKs1wNe7QysRYSBtmW8LnMTFRu69gEwyOSrjIaZyA/edit#slide=id.g186a1bfda4_0_163>
are
close to what we have.
I *think* this means that it can be discussed and implemented separately
from WebXR.

What do you think?
