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!
VR. all. the. time...Love this. Nice job Sophia, Brent, and SVRF Squad.

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?
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 ;)
