This paper discusses the first prototype of Wikipedia VR. It discusses the challenges surrounding building a text-based media application in virtual reality such as eye strain issues and focuses on the creation of an environment that can parse existing web content for consumption within 3D space. Wikipedia is used as the basis for design of a program that can parse and display long form written content for perusal and manipulation within an interactive environment. Results of research have shown that limitations of current generation virtual reality hardware may render them unsuitable to text-based applications.
