WebXR immersive VR launching issues on Desktop with Oculus AirLink
There's some oddness that I can't explain when launch PlayCanvas WebXR VR experiences on desktop via Oculus AirLink.
Forums thread: https://forum.playcanvas.com/t/recommended-setup-for-xr-development/22794
Setup: Oculus Quest 1 Connected to Windows 10 with Oculus software using Air link Using the Oculus OpenXR runtime Chrome on Windows
PlayCanvas experiences only launches correctly if it's the only tab open that has a WebGL app.
If I have more than one tab (eg and Editor tab and Launch tab), the VR experience fails to load as shown below

However, the hello world from immersive web loads fine no matter the situation: https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/immersive-vr-session.html
Examples paths I've tried:
Two tabs open with https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/immersive-vr-session.html , starting VR in either works fine
One tab with https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/immersive-vr-session.html and another with https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/tutorials/webxr-controllerhand-models/ , starting VR in PlayCanvas fails while immersive-web works fine.
Two tabs open with https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/tutorials/webxr-controllerhand-models/ , neither succeeds entering into VR.
Forgot to mention that there weren't any error messages in the console log of the browser either.
same here. the Playcanvas sample doesn't start the VR session. The other example works. using the Playcanvas sample in editor, sometime you can see the VR environment but it's freezed. did you find a solution? thanks.. (I'm also using a Rift S)
After a ton of debugging, I found a fix to this issue and just made a PR for it. It was incredibly annoying to figure out what was causing the issue because using breakpoints in the chrome dev tools would stop the issue from occurring.
