More Thoughts on VR Facing Applications

Riffing on that last post about Node/Chrome compatibility.   I would so love to be able to bring a fully functioning browser into VR, with an eye to being able to run chrome in Kiosk mode or even a version of Electron to be able to run Code or something like that inside.

However, unless it's amazingly easy to do, it's way down in the list of priorities.

However, I have been thinking of doing something like frame-buffer mapping as part of the emissary functionality.   I have my VT100 emulator, and there's a Unity VNC client somewhere (not sure how good it is), but ultimately it would be nice to have something like a X/RDP/Citrix functionality.  Also I envision lots of retro emulators, where something like this could expose the screen, possibly with point-audio.  Old school games have pretty low resolution, so not so hard.   RDP now can connect to one application on the remote side.

I don't know how this works into a virtualization/containerization world.   Certainly X works in a container.   Don't know enough about windows containers, though perhaps Wine might work too.
