(Core :: WebVR, defect)

Description

[Casey Yee]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2486.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

When using Nightly + VR addon (mozvr.com/downloads)
I should be able to see a mirror of the content being displayed in the VR headset.




Actual results:

We get a black screen on the users main display.


Expected results:

Should see mirrored output of contents from headset.

This can be enabled by setting:
gfx.vr.mirror-textures  to true

Should be default?

I should also mention that this is a Windows 8.1 issue running Oculus runtime 0.6.0.1-beta

This applies to all VR content.   You can test this by visiting mozvr.com and click on the VR goggles icon from the front page.

Casey Yee, are you still able to reproduce this in the latest version ?  Would you please add some details to the test case? Thanks

Abe, sorry for the delay on this one.   I need to get the PC setup to test this.   Will get that done in the next day or so here.

Abe.  Mirroring is still not turned on by default.  This should be set now that VR is enabled by default.

WebVR 1.1 now gives the web page control over mirroring or displaying other content on the user's main display.
