scudo has been the default allocator for Android since Android 11, and we are hoping to make it mandatory for the few remaining places that don't use it. Using an allocator without…

Actually, it's complicated stuff pulling together two data points: 1) 2/3 of people are confident contributing in 2 months or less 2) And 50% of people are AS PRODUCTIVE IN RUST as…

Gah! Typo there. It's over 50% (66.8%) in 2 months. And over 80% in 4 months. The chart is correct, not the text :facepalm: I'll see about whether I can push an update. Thanks for …

Thanks for all of your work (in addition to that of others) - it really shows! We do encourage people to create minimal repro cases and open bugs whenever possible. And, even more …

That's exactly right. Today, the focus is on making it possible to use Rust to write pieces of the Android platform itself. Certainly, there are some _apps_ on Android today that u…

If you haven't seen, I'd highly recommend checking out what we did for IEEE VR: https://blairmacintyre.me/2020/04/02/completely-online-ieee-... and in particular some of the notes …

Hi! As we mentioned in the recent Quest release blog post, https://blog.mozvr.com/firefox-reality-for-oculus-quest/ , we have some designs for multi-window support and synchronizat…

Thanks! We also find that a lot of our users really like watching 360 or even 2D videos, taking advantage of the ability to resize the screen to get their own personal theater. Rig…

Unfortunately, we don't currently support phone-based Daydream or Gear VR devices. There's both a bunch of extra work to support all of the phone in/out/notification lifecycle scen…

Thanks! We don't currently have a build of Firefox Reality available for desktop devices, but that work is currently underway. We announced it as part of our deal with HTC and are …

If you're interested in this topic, I'd highly recommend watching Stephanie Balzer's sessions at the Oregon Programming Language Summer School on “Session-Typed Concurrent Programm…

This challenge is one of the reasons we're so excited about pcwalton's work on Pathfinder ( https://github.com/pcwalton/pathfinder )

Firefox Reality is the brand we're using for the suite of browser products across VR and AR devices. Today, Firefox Reality is available for standalone VR devices (like the HTC Viv…

On desktop, it means that if the user chooses to install the Viveport suite, that home experience and the suite will provide Firefox Reality as the default browser. For all-in-one …

One of the biggest things we've found that people like to do in VR is private viewing. They'll collect links of videos all day and then come home to watch them on a "big screen" bu…

While we are on Viveport Mobile and all other relevant stores, a developer can always either build from sources or sideload the browser - https://github.com/MozillaReality/FirefoxR…

The issues with text input are a large part of why we added voice input even in our very first release! w.r.t. text rendering, we're doing a lot of fundamental work in rendering hi…

Sorry - Firefox Reality is only currently available Viveport Mobile for all in one / standalone devices.

What is up with the duck?

Yes, it's very barebones right now, as the team has been focused on getting performance great inside of standalone headsets. We've found from early adopters of 3DoF and 6DoF standa…

> How is a browser supposed to look differently in VR? Great question! Some of the best early work on this was done by ex-Mozilla, current-Google employee Josh Carpenter - check ou…

Yes, we're definitely familiar! We have people on the team who have been involved in the area since the first commercial AR systems, and a substantial portion of the team (includin…

Certainly, it's early stages, which is why we (Mozilla Research / Emerging Technologies) are investing in it. We're seeing a lot of industrial use of AR in manufacturing and indust…
