Mozilla's Firefox Reality web browser is now available
Mozilla's vision of a VR-first web browser is ready for consumers to download and judge.
Firefox Reality is a browser built entirely for virtual reality. While you may have read about desktop Firefox or Chrome adding WebVR support, Firefox Reality is a web browser that you actually use entirely inside a VR headset. You can visit URLs, search things and otherwise browse the 2D and 3D internet within the new browser all without moving a mouse, just your VR hand controller.
Firefox Reality is available on the Oculus, Viveport and Daydream platforms and is optimized to run on the latest standalone mobile headsets like the Oculus Go and Lenovo Mirage Solo.

well my pixel phone and dream thing shows the "jpeg vr" just fine. the original images are tiff from medical device, but the format seems quite standard.
So a VR browser might need to use flicky glasses, but it would be fine just as a rotate model.
I know a few physicians who would appreciate it.
