How to deal with popup images/videos in VR-mode?

  • Hi,

    I wonder how to cope with this problem:

    I used to have a scene with some additional still image or video popping up when triggered by a hotspot.

    Normally I'd provide Images without closing button, click on an image closes the still image again then.
    A video popup window would normally have a closing button.

    In both cases I use a background image and the actual image/video content.


    With VR-mode growing ever more important, I wonder how I should organize this now. As far as I understand, it is not possible to use parent/child in WebGL right now. But somehow I need to have an option to close the image/video again, once it shows up.

    e.g.

    In the example above, switching to VR mode leaves the user with the option to focus on the hotspot, thus opening the video pane. But unlike in normal view, the closing button won't show up (What makes me wonder BTW is, that the video has its parent="bg_videobox01" as well). However, In the case of a video, I might include a command to close the window after the video is completed, but how to deal with a still image then?

    What's the best approach here?

    Yours,
    Michael
