Check out the example here.
This app is an example of how to build a simple model using BabylonJS and WebVR. It is provided as a compliment to the frequent use of the THREE.js engine. BabylonJS uses a different model (pre-built WebVR cameras) and should be easier to implement for beginners.
The current version has a few planets circling the Sun. Later versions will have more planets, along with more correct relative distances between the planets.
If WebVR is not present, the app defaults to the BabylonJS ArcRotate camera, which is entertaining on desktops. You can enable WebVR on devices that don't support it by adding in WebVR-Polyfill.
