Can't enter VR

[suzhouhu]

I use quest2 to browse the web, then enter VR by typing in a command, then click the button to enter VR. Everything is pitch black. I remember that I could enter VR smoothly in version V0.9. Please check if there is something wrong.

Hi @suzhouhu, thank you for reaching out.

We appreciate your interest in using Miew in VR. However, I should clarify that VR support in Miew has always been experimental and was originally implemented as a proof-of-concept for HTC Vive. We haven't actively maintained or tested VR functionality, and unfortunately, we've never supported Quest or Quest 2 specifically.

At the moment, I don't have access to any VR hardware, so I'm unable to investigate or reproduce the issue directly. It's possible that updates to three.js or other dependencies have affected compatibility since version 0.9. If that version still works for your setup, we recommend continuing to use it. Alternatively, if you're able to identify the issue or propose a fix, we'd be happy to review a pull request---contributions from the community are always welcome!

Thanks again for your feedback, and let us know if you discover anything that could help improve VR support.

P.S. Please confirm that VR examples here work for you: https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/ and https://threejs.org/examples/?q=webxr#webxr_ar_lighting

Hi @suzhouhu
You can find the old version at https://miew.app/v0.9.0/ - does it still work for you?
