Unable to open popup with image clicking on hotspot on VR goggles (Oculus Quest 2)

  • Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to make info spots in my virtual tour - when user clicks on hotspot, the image should be shown. To do this, I'm using a postprocessing plugin (pp_blur) and to display the popup with the image I'm using the code from the demo given on the site (https://krpano.com/viewsource.htm…pups/popups.xml).

    It works well on normal computer browser and on mobile devices, however when I'm entering VR mode with Oculus Quest 2 goggles, I got only blurred background without an image.

    Here's the code I use for displaying image:

    How to fix this?

    Any help would be appreciated. *smile*

  • Hello,

    In VR mode, only elements such as photos, video or text (added using the krpano addhotspot) can be displayed. HTML elements are not supported in VR and this is not krpano's fault - it is a technological limitation.

    Thank you very much!

    So If I understand well, you're talking about the paid plugin Add Hotspot (https://novosibpano.ru/Plugins/Add_Hotspot_en.html)? Am I gonna be able to add a plain (not 360) photo into my virtual tour with the plugin? I've seen that someone on the forum made a tour with a video player that works in a VR goggles (I tested it), so I thought that it's possible to do the same but with an image instead of a video - https://exot.by/m/.

    Also, the code above doesn't use html to embed external images or maybe I'm wrong?

    Why do you think so? I am not familiar with this tool, so I cannot recommend it.

    You asked about the possibility of opening popup windows in VR mode, so I pointed out what is possible so you don't waste time looking for solutions that aren't there.

    The native 'popup' function from krpano's example has the ability to display html elements as well, but what is most important is that you only use hotspots for VR mode. The 'popup' function creates layer elements that are not suitable for VR.

    Kind regards
