Hi, I don't know if anyone has had any similar experiences, but I wanted to just have a little play with superimposing some text over the top of the passthrough mode on the quest 2 using web xr.
My quest is on version 51 PTC software and I find the passthrough mode and text is only visible if your head is in exactly one position. If you move your head the screen goes completely black.
My code is:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://aframe.io/releases/1.3.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://mixedreality.mozilla.org/webxr-polyfill/build/webxr-polyfill.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a-scene xrweb="arMode: true">
<a-text value="test" color="black" position="0 1.5 -2" background-color="white"></a-text>
<a-camera></a-camera>
<script>
// Get the XR system
const xr = navigator.xr;
// Check if the device supports immersive-ar mode
xr.isSessionSupported('immersive-ar').then((supported) => {
if (supported) {
// Request a session with local-floor and depth-sensing features
xr.requestSession('immersive-ar', {
requiredFeatures: ['local-floor', 'depth-sensing']
}).then((session) => {
// Start rendering the scene
const renderer = document.querySelector('a-scene').renderer;
renderer.xr.setSession(session);
});
}
});
</script>
</a-scene>
</body>
</html>
Has anyone seen a similar issue? It just seems like perhaps we could do something cool with web XR and passthrough (If we can get it to work..)
Tested the problem on a Quest 2 in my lab (v54), and it did not have the issue. I did a factory reset on my personal headset (hold down volume on when you boot for service menu) and the issue is resolved after a factory reset (v56).
I am experiencing a similar problems that seems to come and go. Passthrough will be working perfectly for days at a time, then all of a sudden the background will be solid unless I look up at the ceiling or cover one of the lower cameras on the headset with my fingers. I've experienced the problem across all levels of lighting (dark, normal, bright). I am using an "immersive-ar" session with no background, renderer alpha = true.
Quest 2 - Problem exists on V55 and V56 (only versions I've tested). Quest 1 - Works perfectly (V50).
It seems to be very random. Passthrough in the main OS always works perfectly. This is just a WebXR issue in the Quest Browser.

Thanks for testing that, Its been a while and now we're on v56 PTC. I'll have another go. If it works then the future for the quest 3 is probably looking good as far as XR is concerned.
