This looks good to me in general -- for Gecko, this combined with offscreen
canvas and canvas/webgl in workers is going to be the best way to get
performant WebGL-based VR. This is likely going to be the better way to
solve the custom-vsync for VR issue; while the large patch queue that I

Hi all,
We've had a lot of excitement around our VR efforts and the MozVR site, and we
want to capitalize on this momentum. Very soon, I'll be landing the early
support code for VR in mozilla-central, pref'd off by default. This includes
adding the core VR interfaces, display item and layers

I'm about to land bug 1046222, which changes the default behaviour of
XPCOM_DEBUG_BREAK on Windows to "warn", instead of "trap". If run under the
debugger, "trap" will cause the debugger to stop as if it hit a breakpoint in
debug builds.
This would be useful behaviour if we didn't still have a

It's entirely possible that (b) is true *now* -- the test may have been good
and proper for the previous environment, but now the environment
characteristics were changed such that the test needs tweaks. Em

Already in the works. :)

Yep, my plan was to to not let this get beyond Nightly, maybe Aurora, but
not further until the functionality and standards were firmer.

Hey all,
I have a prototype of VR display and sensor integration with the web, along
with an implementation for the Oculus VR. Despite there really being only one
vendor right now, there is a lot of interest in VR. I'd like to add the web

I just did a unified and non-unified build on my windows desktop -- non SSD.
VS2012, using mozmake. Full clobber. (mozmake -s -j8)
Unified: 20 min
Non-Unified: 36 min
This is huge! I was curious about the cost for incremental builds...
