In the future, the web will likely stray further from its hypertext roots to become a vast sea of interactive experiences. Virtual reality has been on the horizon for decades (at least since the release of Lawnmower Man in 1992 and the Nintendo Virtual Boy in 1995), but the web may finally bring it to the masses. { -brand-name-firefox } now has support for <a href="{ $vr }">WebVR and A-Frame</a>, which let developers quickly and easily build virtual reality websites. Most modern mobile devices support <a href="{ $vr }">WebVR</a>, and can easily be used as headsets with simple cardboard cases. A 3D virtual reality web like the one imagined by science fiction author Neal Stephenson may be just around the corner. If that’s the case, the web browser itself may completely disappear and become a true window into another world.

在未来，Web 可能会跳脱原始的超文本，提供各式不同而广阔的互动式体验。虚拟现实已经出现了几十年（从 1992 年的《Lawnmower Man》 与 1995 年的任天堂 Virtual Boy 算起），但 Web 最可能将其带入大众。{ -brand-name-firefox } 已经支持 <a href="{ $vr }">WebVR 与 A-Frame</a>，可让开发者快速便捷地构建虚拟现实网站。大多数现代移动设备都支持 <a href="{ $vr }">WebVR</a>，可以将手机插入简单的纸盒中，变成 VR 头戴设备。由科幻小说家尼尔·斯蒂芬森（Neal Stephenson）所描绘的 3D 虚拟现实 Web 世界可能已经离我们不远。如果是这样的话，Web 浏览器可能会融入为另一个世界的真实入口。
