WebVR is a patent-pending[4] platform designed to intelligently manage, store, and distribute video content over the Internet. WebVR was developed over a period of three years by a team of experts in the fields of video, communications, and storage. Its capabilities include mass storage; retrieval of video from various sources; and transcoding and distribution (video streaming) to multiple device types, including PCs, PDAs, and mobile browsers.
