Holding back on browsing the ‘virtual web’

Investing in browser based terminal emulation is a smart way to plan for the future: it focuses on a lightweight means of data access and can help organizations plan around different devices as they appear in the enterprise.

However, with more improvements to mobile technology, one of the most notable of which is Virtual Reality. Though there's been much press about virtual web access, will it also lead to a revolution in browsing? Fast Company's Mark Wilson doesn't think so, arguing that there are several reasons preventing the software industry from making proper browsing possible.

For one, Wilson argues, new VR web would require developers to work on VR sites, a "totally different" proposition from developing content for the "traditional" web. Even though some tools are already available for this purpose, there's still the learning curve needed to absorb these skills and translate them into a full-fledged environment.

An article from Slashgear about Samsung's VR web browser noted some of the issues with the current WebVR landscape.

"Samsung admits that the browser so far only supports the deprecated API, which means the parts that will soon be obsolete," JC Torres said for the source. "This first release, however, will hopefully serve as the launchpad for updating to more recent WebVR APIs in the near future. However, WebVR itself is still in its infancy, so not everything might work as desired."

For more immediate support, businesses have the chance to choose web services that makes data entry less difficult and streamlines the web access process. Databases are automatically synchronized with Flynet viewer, making for a smoother means of keeping systems updated.
