Keyboard is not interactable in immersive VR mode

Open rozztopher opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hello, as the title suggests as a user I am not able to enter an input via the keyboard when I enter the immersive VR experience on browsers such as Firefox and the default Oculus browser.

I have tried it on various other devices and it works correctly. These devices include desktop, mobile, tablet and the static VR view which are used with the official keyboard examples found here: http://supermedium.com/aframe-super-keyboard/

The issue is that when on the immersive VR experience the lasers from the controls pass straight through the keyboard as if it doesn't exist meaning I cannot press a key. Am I maybe missing some extra configuration on this? This is the only object in my scenes I have trouble interacting with.

Hey, have you found a solution to this problem? I'm getting the same issue on HoloLens 2 whenever I enter AR mode. The raycaster hits the keys, they change color, yet nothing gets written.

It sounds like you aren't firing click events on the keys themselves correctly. Without a demo, it's hard to say, but this component does work when properly set up. You might find the discussion here helpful: https://github.com/supermedium/aframe-super-keyboard/issues/18
