Virtual Reality (VR) environments have been the purview of specialized gaming engines, but internet webservers and associated networking approaches promise to broaden the reach of VR, which will permit manymore uses of the technology including education and museums. WebVR is a forthcoming standard for VR inthe browser, but it comes with many performance and optimization challenges. In a VR environment, the framerate and fidelity of interaction are all critical in order to prevent simulator sickness and maintain the illusion ofoperating in the real world. The use of lightweight Docker containers enables subsystems to process graphicaloperations in parallel while meeting the performance expectations of the user. This project considers back-endarchitecture and web rendering technologies to maintain realistic virtual environments.

虚拟现实（VR）环境一直是专业游戏引擎的范围，但互联网服务器和相关的网络方法有望扩大VR的范围，这将允许该技术的更多用途，包括教育和博物馆。WebVR是浏览器中VR的一个即将到来的标准，但它带来了许多性能和优化挑战。在虚拟现实环境中，为了防止模拟器疾病并保持在真实的世界中操作的错觉，交互的帧率和保真度都是至关重要的。轻量级Docker容器的使用使子系统能够并行处理图形操作，同时满足用户的性能期望。该项目考虑后端架构和Web渲染技术来维护逼真的虚拟环境。
