Oculus Browser - set start page?
I have a fleet of headsets through Oculus for Business. We deploy Oculus Browser on it for our WebXR project. Is it possible to change the start page in the browser, so that our site comes up automatically? If so, is it possible to do through Workplace? Currently, we set a bookmark to the site when we provision the headsets, but this has to be done manually on each headset, and the users have to remember to look in the bookmark list.
Open application from Quest web browser through a "android:scheme" Deeplink
I followed the Android deep linking documentation to be able to open my Quest application from the Quest web browser: 1. Edit the AndroidManifest.xml of the application to add this: <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <!-- Accepts URIs that begin with "example://gizmos” --> <data android:scheme="example" android:host="gizmos" /> </intent-filter> 2. Deploy the application to the Quest device 3. Run this command where "com.example.android" is the application pacakge: adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "example://gizmos" com.example.android This works, e.g the previous command launches the application on the device. The "android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" is here to allow this intent action to be launched from a web browser. So now please open the Quest web browser on the device, then try to navigate to the "example://gizmos" URL. This does not work, e.g the application is not launched by querying the "example://gizmos" URL from the Quest web browser.

Something in the Meta Quest web browser prevents the intent action to open the application.

Streaming platforms not suported by the meta quest 3 browser
I bought the Meta Quest 3 expecting to be able to watch, through the streaming platforms im subscribed to, different live sport leagues such as the NFL, NBA, champions league, etc. I’m from Mexico and I usually watch this sporting events through HBO MAX or Star+ but this platforms aren’t supported by the Quest’s browser, so I don’t know if there’s going to be an update for this or something.
Oculus Browser - full screen video controls getting in the way of immersive content
I have a problem with the z-index of the fullscreen video control bar in Oculus Browser, blocking my interactions with elements 'behind' it. I am playing 360 videos in Oculus Browser in full screen and then selecting "360 video" from the dropdown menu in the video control bar, to see them in full wraparound view. What I'm actually doing is presenting a web page in 360, using the Fullscreen API - not just a video file. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fullscreen_API With the video filling the page, and some clickable hotspots overlaid on top of it. The problem is that the video control bar (with Play button, skip forwards/back and Normal/180/360 and 2D/3D options) is sitting halfway between the viewer and the video and blocking any interactions behind it. All clicks anywhere on the screen just pull up the video control bar wherever you click. What I need is for it to let me click the clickable elements behind the video control bar, but I can't. The video control bar basically creates a kind of invisible forcefield halfway between my hands/controllers and the buttons overlaid on the video. Is there anything I can do? Is there any documentation I've missed about developing for these immersive features in Oculus Browser?
Issue with Browser and VR Mode
We've found that when we launch a View intent with a WebXR link from a third party application, the Oculus Browser doesn't always show VR Mode as an available option. This is true for Youtube, as well as products like 3D Vista. Is this a known issue? Is there some other setting, or recent update, that has made it more difficult for third party apps to launch the browser and keep VR mode as an option?
WebGL context lost after oculus browser update
Hi I have encountered weird issue that is manifesting only on our Oculus Quest 2 after web browser update. If you open up Shapespark viewer on Oculus Browser in Oculus Quest 2 headset there is an issue with meeting mode. The WebGL Context is briefly lost and restored (or will crash browser) Link to example meeting: https://kamilmodzelewski.shapespark.com/shapes/#meeting-key=J4FAMBpIgXKAW1kD I have tested meeting feature on multiple devices, multiple systems, various browsers. Meetings had worked fine before Oculus Browser update to Chromium version: 104.0.5112.111. (not sure what versions was before update) Issue is still present after update to Chromium version: 106.0.5249.168 There are no errors that could point me in right direction when debugging issue with Chrome developers tools (only WebGL Context Lost) The issue might occur during Twilio preflight phase: https://www.twilio.com/docs/video/troubleshooting/preflight-api. Any advice would help!
Install user CA certificate for trust on the Oculus browser
Hello. I'm developing a web service to navigate with the Oculus browser. My client wants to use this service in an intranet environment. So I try to install CA certificate on the device. But I can't find a way through this forum. Can you tell me if there is a way to install a trusted CA certificate on my device?
120 fps in WebXR apps?
I get 'only' 90 fps yet in my WebXR "MiniMol" molecule viewer at https://www.ibiblio.org/e-notes/webxr/mini.htm. See e.g. https://www.ibiblio.org/e-notes/webxr/mini/1crn.htm. Is used navigator.xr.requestSession(SESSION_TYPE, {optionalFeatures: ['high-fixed-foveation-level', 'high-refresh-rate']}) You can control models (up to 80000 atoms) by one of thumbsticks (randomly, maybe you can hide your left controller at switch on 🙂 Does the Oculus browser support 120 fps?
WEBGL_multiview in Oculus Browser
I am trying to use multiview rendering in WebVR for Quest Browser as explained here. However "var ext = gl.getExtension('WEBGL_multiview'); returns null. I also noticed that WEBGL_multiview is now deprecated and replaced by OVR_multiview2 according to Khronos. But OVR_multiview2 is not supported either. According to this commit about a month ago in chromium project, OVR_multiview2 is already replaced WEBGL_multiview . Does it mean the same thing is happening for Oculus browser? Does it mean multiview rendering is broken in the meantime?
Oculus Browser 360 Video Specifications?
I've been running tests on playing back 360 video content in the Oculus Browser (assuming its version 10.0) on a Quest and am getting a lot of unusual behavior. The browser doesn't seem to support over/under stereo content in 1:1 or 2:1 aspect ratios. It adds letterboxing and pillarboxing to reformat the content in a 16:9 aspect ratio. It also has very limited H264 level support, I couldn't find any official specs, but based on my testing it looks like anything with a resolution beyond what level 5.1 supports won't play back. "Best" quality I can get so far is a 3840x2160 16:9 formatted mp4 but it doesn't stretch the video properly so you get a black seam line down the back. There's no cubemap support so you can't go to Facebook and play back a video, youtube doesn't work (which isn't oculus' problem per se, but still...) it's essentially a useless browser for anything 360 video related. Is there any resource for best practices with that browser with encoding 360 (i.e: resolution, codec support, frame rate, etc)? Will it be updated to support modern H264 levels?
