Hi all,

Is there any information available yet whether it’ll be possible to play Verge3D apps on the Oculus Quest? Sounds like the device is going to be quite restricted in terms of playable content compared to the Rift, but I’m hoping it comes with a browser of some sort that might be used to play custom apps? Maybe wishful thinking…

Haven’t tried that device ourselves yet, but I think WebVR works there as three.js/a-frame is known to work on it.

Hi Yuri, thanks for the reply. I had a very quick go with a Quest yesterday and was able to play the Xmas VR demo on it via the Oculus browser, so all looking promising!

Seems it’s just look interaction for now on the Quest – no controller ray cast as yet

Hi, just revisiting this with the new version of Verge coming out – are there any plans to fully the Oculus Quest controllers in this version? Ray casts etc. Excited to start making full use of the Quest and Verge!

Many thanks

Hi, we plan to support all VR controllers available on the market, although with limited capabilities such as one-button operation and raycasting for now. We invite you to test the upcoming Verge3d 2.14 pre-release and share your experience!

Hi Alexander, thanks that sounds great. Looking forward to the pre-release in that case!

OK I’ve had a go with 2.14.0pre2 on the Quest

Ray trace works from the right hand controller (no visible trace from left) and handles whenhovered events which is great.

Doesn’t seem to recognise any button presses though – tried all buttons, triggers, thumbsticks but no input seems to work with the whenclicked test I set up (tried with mouse and it works with that). Any idea which of the buttons is meant to be supported? Thanks.

Hi, support for the second controller is on the way (scheduled for 2.14 release). As for buttons/thumbsticks, for now it’s only possible to assign events on these using JavaScript.

EDIT: Sorry that’s me being dumb – was trying to use whenclicked instead of onsessionevent for the controller button, hence it not working! Very much a newbie at all of this, but all seems to be working great and thanks again for all the work you guys are putting in.

Hallo Synbenfoulds, how did you add the Christmas App to Oculus Browser? I have Oculus Rift S but I do not know how to see it. Thanks for help ;)

Hi Abin,

I think I just went to soft8soft.com and browsed to the app via the gallery (the button at the top that says “Made with Verge3D”)

That took me to the following page:
https://cdn.soft8soft.com/demo/applications/xmas_vr/xmas_vr.html

Will test it again when I get chance and let you know if I did it any differently…
