Browsers have support for audio processing. Chrome can handle
multi-channel streams (maybe other browsers too). The quality is a
collaborative effort; I integrated existing ideas, software and content.

It's already happening, but to my knowledge there's no free (as in
software) solutions. My intention was to create such a solution, and
sadly my code is too messy to be released now.

Online VR (with cardboard type devices) is not much about music than
suspension of disbelief for short periods of time.

Yes. I integrated it into a spherical picture viewer. :)

I'm not in business and I'm not an academic, I'm just interested by
sound as an amateur; maintaining a subscription based site would be
more work.

The real problem is to convince audio engineers to work with
Ambisonics; I think it'd be viable for the creation and distribution of
online binaural "VR" audio experiences, without any proprietary software
or obscure methods involved. It could happen.

Giants like Google don't need me (or so they?) :)
