Original Context

AltspaceVR has a new feature to launch: The AltspaceVR Chrome browser extension takes any web page and brings it into AltspaceVR. This is another way to access AltspaceVR and content on the web. When you find content in the Chrome browser that you'd like to enjoy in virtual reality, you simply click the AltspaceVR browser extension. The web page content that is shared onto the public display in an AltspaceVR space. When you click the AltspaceVR browser extension, a screen pops that gives you link to the space. You can use the link to go directly to the AltspaceVR room (in virtual reality). Clicking the link launches the AltspaceVR client and sends you to the space with the web content you just selected. You can also share the link with others and invite them to join you in viewing the web content. For instance you can launch a Netflix movie into virtual reality from the netflix website outside AltspaceVR, or a youtube video, live stream of Twitch, or a blog post from medium or some other news/content site.
