AndyBeaulieu Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Has anyone had luck with displaying WebVR to the Acer Mixed Reality Headset (Development Edition)? I just received mine yesterday. So far, I haven't been able to get any WebVR content through the headset, including BabylonJS through Edge. The odd thing is, I had WebVR working fine through the Simulator in the Mixed Reality Portal a couple of months ago. So something must have changed (maybe Windows 10 updates?) There isn't much to the setup - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/using_webvr_in_edge_with_windows_mixed_reality Although it does mention "become a Windows Insider" which is kind of vague. What ring is required (if any?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davrous Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi Andy, I even wrote a full tutorial demonstrating it: https://www.davrous.com/2017/07/07/from-zero-to-hero-creating-webvr-experiences-with-babylon-js-on-all-platforms/ with other headsets. Which build of Windows 10 are you using? The Creators Update version should work normally but I've also managed to have our samples working in insider fast builds, to test the controllers also.

AndyBeaulieu Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Unfortunately this looks like it's probably some weird driver issue. I am on Windows 10 15063.483 If I unplug the Acer headset, then I can view WebGL pages fine in Edge. But if I plug in the headset, then the WebGL rendering fails with no output to the Edge console. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it, or where to go from here. The headset works fine in the Mixed Reality Portal app but I really wanted to do some WebVR stuff with it.

AndyBeaulieu Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 At least I'm not the only one... there are other folks on the immersive apps forum with similar issues. https://forums.hololens.com/discussion/8148/has-anyone-gotten-webvr-to-work?

davrous Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Weird indeed. You should try to upgrade to an Insider build, the support for headsets has been improved. Before doing so, did you try to uninstall it from the Mixed Reality Portal? Are you sure you haven't enabled the simulator mode in the Mixed Reality portal?

davrous Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 As I've answered on the immersive apps forum, this is more than probably due to your dual GPU setup. I know we've fixed it but don't know when it will land in the insiders build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
