Nathan-- thanks for hunting! Quick origin story: It all started a few weeks ago when Brent was reading ‘The Power of Habit’ by Charles Duhigg and kept coming back to the idea of consumers needing to build a routine around experiencing VR content. We wanted to build a "non-excusable" VR experience, something minimal, enjoyable that could kick start the new year with a new routine of VR/360. SVRF Tabs is the first Chrome extension of its kind and we strongly believe it is the lowest friction way for people to begin consuming VR/360 content everyday :) Excited to hear your feedback!

The tiniest taste of VR with every new tab! Love it. Bringing VR into everyone's daily life is imperative for our survival and multi-planet inhabitation. right?

This is so awesome! A good introduction for many people who have yet to try VR.

Great work y'all!
I'm really enjoying the SVRF tabs -- reminds me of the minimalist beauty of momentum combined with a constant reminder to see what's new in the world of 360 & VR. @sophiaedm any plans to let people personalize for what kinds of content they want to see? Also, where are you finding the content to feature?

@matthartman The Chrome extension takes into account our content ranking algorithm and calls only the top VR/360 content in from our API each time a new tab is opened :) Many of of the highest rated 360 photos are from Flickr, thus, why you'll see a lot of Flickr 360 photos :) Re: personalization - you mean requesting to see certain types of imagery VS it being random? if so, our earliest iteration of that is to add a search bar.. coming to the extension soon ;)

Oh man I love this! I deleted Momentum for this. I'm going to miss the inspiring quotes though...

This is my new favorite thing! I love the subtle way it glide pans... prompting me to engage and quickly explore before I do my internet-ing.

Sophia and Brent know how to bring the party. Amazing way to hack at distribution and take advantage of one of our most utilized daily tools... tabs. :) Waytago guys.
