Could you build this?
No Running WebXR content natively on Meta Quest requires embedding V8, implementing WebGL 2 over GLES, and bridging to OpenXR, which is specialized graphics and XR systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture embeds a JavaScript engine (V8), implements the WebGL 2 API on top of OpenGL ES, and maps WebXR session and input calls onto OpenXR through an IWER-style host layer. This is low-level systems work across the JS runtime, graphics driver, and Quest-specific XR runtime. It requires engineers experienced with browser engine internals, GPU APIs, and Android/Quest XR platforms, plus Quest hardware for testing.
