InputText control not showing up correctly in vr

[HoloLite]

I am using Babylon-3.1-rc0.

The sample codes were essentially the same as ones from https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#S7L7FE.

In the vr headset though, the input text was not rendered correctly. You kinda saw double vision on the control.

Is this a known issue ? Looks very easy to reproduce.

What is your VR headset?  I tried on a mesh, so not full screen:

It looks OK (no double vision) on my Samsung Odyssey, but for some reason controllers don't seem be working now.  On my GearVR it was too far away to see for some reason.  I don't think the gaze is doing anything on 3.1 (looks like you still need a controller), so how are you enabling the keyboard?

@brianzinn

Thanks for the reply. I just tried your code samples and checked my codes again. Actually it did work! I do have to use the controller to enable the keyboard.

I am using Samsung odyssey too. Per @davrous, the gear vr controller is not supported for 3.1 release.

Are you saying that it's also working on original PG (full screen) or just on my PG (attach to mesh)?

[HoloLite]

It worked only with CreateForMesh(). 

Still seeing double vision with CreateFullScreen(). I guess this is still a bug right ?

[brianzinn]

It probably is a bug - on one hand you can't select it, but if you programatically selected it and had the keyboard going then it shouldn't be double vision.  I'm not quite sure about Full Screen and UI yet in VR what the guidelines are.

CreateFullScreen is not meant to be used in VR mode as there is no 3d applied (as it is a pure 2d :))

 

Only Texture mode makes sense in webvr mode as it will be integrated in the webVR rendering process

Thanks DK.  I didn't notice this in the docs before, but I have only been using CreateForMesh and it works great!

 The fullscreen mode is not intented to be used with WebVR as it is a pure 2d rendering.

Regarding the gaze, it works with a classical gamepad (Xbox) to simulate pointerDown / Move / Up. Shouldn't be difficult to add support of GearVR in 3.2 using that as a base

With 'gaze' I mean without a controller.  In English gaze is to steadily (continuously) look - to me what is more like the PGs you made the the cubes "selecting..." and changing colour, without needing any controllers to interact with the scene.  We could have similar to floor meshes for gazeable meshes perhaps   We already have the meshSelectionPredicate to create our own, so it's not that much work to add ourselves.  Your work on the controllers and VRExperienceHelper is great - thanks!
