hmd.link

(HMD) = head-mounted display

Send URLs instantly from a 2D device to an immersive headset on your network, no setup required.

No more typing long URLs with unweildy motion controllers — 8 characters (or 1 bookmark) is all you need! Just type hmd.link into your VR browser to access your link.

What is this sorcery?

Inspired by the local file sharing app ShareDrop, this app uses your public IP address to automatically connect devices on the same network. However, since it's just text being shared, there's no fancy P2P stuff going on, just a simple database.

Why use this?

As of July 2020, there is still no easy way to access WebXR content on consumer headsets. Some browsers like Firefox Reality offer a way to sync bookmarks and tabs with their 2D counterpart, but it requires additional setup. Others, like the built-in Oculus Browser don't have such a feature.
