* '''Firefox Reality News''' -- VR Focus, a Virtual Reality news site, published a [https://www.vrfocus.com/2019/10/oc6-interview-as-vr-grows-web-will-play-key-part-says-mozilla/ video interview] from the recent Oculus Connect 6 event with our own Lars Bergstrom, Director of Mixed reality, about the key role the web will continue to play in the growth of VR. Lars highlights trends we’re seeing with users in experiencing the web in VR, the importance of voice input, and new features coming in upcoming releases. Last week we also launched a new version of Firefox Reality for standalone headsets, focused on top bugs but also accompanied by a new Halloween-themed set of content. Happy Halloween!.

* '''Firefox Reality Top Picks''' -- So you bought yourself a fancy VR headset, you’ve played all the zombie-dragon-laser-kitten-battle games (we have too!) and now you’re wondering… what else is there? Where can I find other cool stuff to explore while I have this headset strapped to my face? We felt the same way, so we built Firefox Reality to help you in your quest for the most interesting VR content on the Web. Firefox Reality [https://blog.mozvr.com/firefox-reality-top-picks/ Top Picks] is the start of what we hope will evolve into a thriving and sustainable ecosystem connecting creators, VR content, and audience. And unlike other browsers that recommend content by mining your data and using AI, the content featured in the Firefox Reality Top Picks menu is curated by real humans. We build relationships with creator communities and scour the Web seeking the best experiences we can find from around the world. If you have or know of an amazing 360 video or interactive experience you’d like our team to consider featuring on Firefox Reality Top Picks, please submit it to us [https://qsurvey.mozilla.com/s3/Top-Picks here].
