“SurroundWeb enables least privilege for these immersive web pages by introducing two new abstractions: first, a Room Skeleton that enables least privilege for room rendering, unlike previous approaches that focus on inputs alone.

Set up, it is said, is easy breezy. The browser automatically scans the room for areas that it computes are suitable for displaying websites, and it is currently capable of projecting content at least 30 frames per second. Users can interact with it via gestures and voice.]]>
