Render VR view as well on renderCanvas

[Regit]

Hello,

is there a way to simultaneously render what’s being viewed by the VR user on the renderCanvas?

Thanks in advance!

This is something that is in progress, in fact it should work already but there is a problem somewhere. There is also an issue on github for it and @RaananW is looking into it.

I’m sorry for the lack of updates, I was away for a few weeks.

There is an issue with rendering both the xr camera and the canvas camera. We are working on it and hopefully will have a solution very soon
