## What it is
The official W3C WebXR Device API Specification repository, defining the standard JavaScript API for accessing VR and AR devices on the Web. It is maintained by the Immersive Web Working Group and written in Bikeshed.

## Use cases
- access VR and AR headsets from a web browser
- build immersive web experiences with WebXR
- understand the WebXR Device API specification
- track the standardization status of WebXR
- contribute to the WebXR spec or its tests
- replace legacy WebVR with WebXR

## When to choose
- you need the normative reference for implementing or using the WebXR API
- you want to follow or participate in WebXR standardization
- you are a browser vendor implementing WebXR support

## When to avoid
- you want a ready-made runtime or SDK for building XR apps rather than the spec itself
- you need a tutorial or framework for WebXR development
- you are targeting native (non-web) VR/AR development

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, graphics, game-engine
- domain: web-development, graphics, simulation
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: webxr, virtual-reality, augmented-reality, specification, w3c, immersive-web, bikeshed, web-server
