HoloLite Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 This question is for @Deltakosh I am using the insider preview build of HoloLens (official build) and able to run the aframe samples webvr using Edge on the HoloLens. The babylonjs won't run though. Note that there is a newer version of build HoloLens (unofficial one) where one confirmed babylonjs can run fine. (Unfortunately I did not bring my HoloLens at the summit to receive the update). I guess my question is why is it that on this older build only aframe can run but not Babylon ? This older Edge certainly supports webvr. Although this is not webxr yet, it's pretty exciting to see webvr app can run on the HoloLens now.

HoloLite Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Upon further check, webvr.info says the browser does not support webvr. It's weird aframe managed to get it working. Anyway, this thread is moot point now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaananW Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't really have a factual answer to that, but my assumption would be - specifications are different. We currently support webvr 1.1, it might have supported 1.0 (which, despite the miner-version upgrade it actually a major change in the API).

Guest Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I guess Raanan is right as I see no other reasons why we could not support WebVR in Hololens if AFrame manages to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoloLite Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 I think he's right. So I did a little test by checking the navigator.getVRDisplays and this returns null, which means no webvr 1.1. The navigator.getVRDevices also returns null, which probably means this is even pre webvr 1.0 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I think so. I don't understand how AFrame does that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoloLite Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 It is kinda mystery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
