We have implemented software decoding path support in our code so that you don’t need to install any extensions to do it for you.
In our initial VR Player release, we listed some tips and tricks a user might need to deal with some VR-related scenarios, such as using VR Player when their GPU does not support YouTube’s VP8 or VP9 formats. Oculus Rift has been an incredible milestone in the virtual reality world and it’s our pleasure to announce that Oculus users can now enjoy Opera VR Player directly. We started with OpenVR support, but now, after collaboration with our friends at Oculus, we can announce that Oculus SDK support will be shipped with Opera 50. We started working on VR Player for Opera to make sure that the immersive, 360-degree virtual world would be available to our users with just one click. We are delighted to present to you a bunch of changes that allow you to enjoy VR content on the web even more.
