servers and associated networking approaches promise to broaden the reach of VR, which will permit many_x000D_
more uses of the technology including education and museums. WebVR is a forthcoming standard for VR in_x000D_
the browser, but it comes with many performance and optimization challenges. In a VR environment, the frame_x000D_
rate and fidelity of interaction are all critical in order to prevent simulator sickness and maintain the illusion of_x000D_
operating in the real world. The use of lightweight Docker containers enables subsystems to process graphical_x000D_
operations in parallel while meeting the performance expectations of the user. This project considers back-end_x000D_
architecture and web rendering technologies to maintain realistic virtual environments., program purpose french : Virtual Reality (VR) environments have been the purview of specialized gaming engines, but internet web_x000D_
