Insecure, with no a-frame or lens correction - it was MVP for me.

And Windows is a lot easier to manage when you can accumulate VM snapshots of it.įor non-WebVR Vive or Rift use, there's. I sometimes run a Vive off a Windows VM - setting up the VM to perform well was a bit fiddly, but it works. Running the browser under Windows, either on a separate machine, or if the stars align with your hardware, in a VM. That came out in February and today here we are, wondering what the problem is.Įspecially with WebVR, you can use Windows as a troublesome device driver. Fair enough, the OSVR SDK is an SDK literally nobody on Linux uses, so we could wait for SteamVR.

That announcement from Sensics is a year old and falls in the time where the OSVR SDK was the only major current and working VR SDK on Linux (and Mac OS X!) but it seems nobody wanted to make the effort to actually make it work. Then Oculus stopped their linux support and both browsers stopped caring about WebVR on linux too. It's funny because in 2014/2015 with the Oculus Rift DK2 we first got a chromium webvr build for linux and then when it got into firefox nightly, it worked on linux too. The point is really more that Mozilla seems to give a lot more love to proprietary platforms like windows and runtimes like steamvr now than to libre ones. the Nolo controllers, but that's getting sorted out currently).

There's no such thing because with SteamVR-OSVR all OSVR supported devices can be used in SteamVR (they are having some trouble with controllers, e.g.

> though certainly if more devices that can only work on OSVR Not even ideologically, imagine you're buying a Talos II POWER9 Workstation, plop a Vega 64 in, compile firefox, connect your HMD, and what's that? SteamVR is only available on x86? Tough luck, no WebVR for you! Meanwhile you can compile OSVR for whatever architecture you like. Isn't Mozilla usually all over libre stuff like OSVR? The thing is, at the moment the only OpenVR implementation is the proprietary SteamVR runtime and it looks like it's unlikely that anyone will implement a FLOSS OpenVR runtime. I understand the reluctance to spend time investing in it, especially when developers say the OSVR-Rendermanager API and the OpenGL context sharing is awkward to use, but what's the point in investing in it in the first place, with a big announcement from Sensics etc? The OSVR support wouldn't have such an error message because the rendering support wasn't implemented in the first place. The error message is from the OpenVR support. Only got a few comments on HN when it was submitted 5 days ago.

"Firefox Fights Back: Inside Mozilla, CEO Chris Beard and his team are preparing to outmaneuver Google’s Chrome browser" is linked from the submitted article and looks like an interesting read. Major use case for me: queuing up several YouTube videos from either search results or directly through the list of a users videos. I was always a bit surprised that this wasn't the default behavior as it was in Chrome. This is something I've been tracking through since it was called out in the 54 release notes although it was not actually released. If it continues through beta just fine, looks like media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground will finally ship. It hasn't been without issue, but I'm enjoying FF and very happy to see it evolve.

I moved back to FF from Chrome when I ditched a Win7 install for Ubuntu after building a new computer.
