VirtualJoystickCamera - left joysticks not working in any of mobile browser

[dsman]

I tested VirtualJoystickCamera . Right joystick to control panning and rotation of camera works on all browser. But left joystick isn't working on any mobile browser. I checked on following browser. 

 

Android 4.4 

Default Chrome, Firefox for android, Opera, MIUI default browser 

 

iOS 9

Safari , Opera

 

 

This is very good choice of camera for free camera movement and application/gave targeting touch devices. 

 

Any clue what is wrong here ?

Hi,

It should work. But I've recently updated it to use jQuery PEP polyfill instead of hand.js.

Are you using PEP? Are the samples on the babylonjs.com website not working neither?

I've just tested on an iPhone 6 / iOS 8.0 and our scenes on babylonjs.com work with the virtual joysticks camera (using the camera control panel).

Can you please share a repro somewhere?

Thanks!

Actually I was using Babylon 2.0  . I upgraded to Babylon 2.2 and it started working.  Don't know why is it so. May be you have the answer. 

 

I was using jquery , handjs and babylon 2.0 and just updated babylon 2.0 to 2.2 .

Ok cool!

Starting with Babylon 2.3, we will use PEP instead of hand.js

Is this yet implemented ? I mean : if we use the alpha version, will PEP yet work with BJS ?

[davrous]

Yes, this is in the 2.3 alpha. Compared to hand.js, you need to set the touch-action attribute on the html element whereas we're supporting the CSS property with hand.js.
