Web Development and VR

There are some people working on VR in the web browser (for example using WebGL).

You can also program in Unity using Javascript, which may be easy to pick up for a web developer.

Browser support for vr is getting better quickly.

In the latest versions of firefox you can enable vr support with the dom.vr.enabled option ( see http://mozvr.com for more information and examples )

Chrome has experimental builds which enable webvr ( very similar to mozvr's implemention ).

For library support, you can look at three.js for a webgl shader support for HMDs: http://threejs.org/examples/#vr_cubes and http://threejs.org/examples/#vr_video

If you want page interaction with hand control tech like Leap Motion, then they also have a javascript API which works pretty well:

Finally, here is more information about the WebVR api with links to chrome and mozilla builds and extensions: http://webvr.info/

Good luck
