I’m working on a game that I want to work in VR and standard 3D. This was pretty much supported by default with WebVR, but now I need to move to WebXR since WebVR is being deprecated.
To save me hours and days chasing a red herring, can anyone tell me whether this is possible and what would be best practice to implement it?
Many thanks in advance
Hi @CarlBateman!
@RaananW, who is behind the WebXR implementation in Babylon.js updated the documentation. You should find what you need in these sections: Getting started and Migrating from WebVR
Let me save you the time:
And now I have a question to make sure I understood correctly 
- Are you asking about a form of a viewer mode when IN xr, or are you asking about a game that will work on desktop, will enter XR, and after exiting XR will continue working on desktop? (A simplified answer to that would be - 1 is not possible yet, 2 is exactly what we have).
I think I need to understand the usecase and then will be able to provide a much better answer
Thanks for getting back to me.
Desktop - standard view (VR for testing only)
Mobile - toggle between VR and standard view
VR - VR
I’ve installed the WebXR API Emulator, which has helped enormously. I think the WebXR implementation will do what I want, it’s just migrating and getting my head around promises that’s the the killer.
Promises are fun! Once you accept them as a solution for the async nature of life, the universe, and everything. And XR.
The try async-await pattern, it eases up the migration to promise-based architecture.
If there is anything we can help with, let us know.
