Iframes in VR mode

Hi.
The new demo

https://krpano.com/releases/1.20.2/viewe…tml5=only+webgl

shows, that a HTML iframe can be embedded inside a desktop viewed panorama. Does it meant that the same iframe can also be viewed in VR mode?

If so is there an example for that?

No!

How do you know and why? Firefox Reality and Oculus browser do work like that so it is possible.

Is this feature worked on or is this an external limitation?

Pretty sure it is a limitation of WebGL. That said you can do a good amount with hotspots. I show images and video in hotspots in VR, but I don't believe there is a way to render HTML via WebGL. So, no iframe.

Have you seen these?

Mozilla Firefox Reality and Oculus Browser already have it:

I have also found a note on a workaround that can be found in Amazon Sumerian

Zitat von »Amazon Sumerian«

WebVR
.....
When entering VR, we capture a screenshot of the HTML by rendering it into a canvas as SVG, then converting it to an image. The screenshot is applied to the plane as a texture. Instead of a black plane, you’ll see an image of the HTML in 3D.

Whenever the HTML is changed or resized or has a new style applied, the screenshot is updated.
Limitations
...
Rendering the HTML to an image and converting it to a texture on a plane is a slow operation that can take 200 milliseconds or longer. This delay is unacceptable for most VR use cases, where a hitch in frame rate can cause users to experience nausea.
