Notes

UI

  • Immersive videos can be reoriented along the vertical axis. A long press on the controller's Home button will reorient the video in the direction of your gaze. Note that this works on pages that serve video content directly (e.g. YouTube) but not on those that use their own WebXr player.
  • Clearer logic for resizing: we set a maximum and minimum size and allow for consistent size changes between those boundaries, preserving the current aspect ratio as much as possible.
  • Preserve the suggested URL when you click the "go" button in the keyboard.
  • Widgets like dialogs and the keyboard will be displayed on a flat surface and oriented towards the user, which makes them more visible in all cases.
  • Fix some issues related to recentering and headlock.
  • Display an explanation before requesting a permission (HVR in China)

Input

  • The buttons B/Y can be used to go back to the previous page, when you are not inside an immersive WebXR application.
  • Enable the full range of hand motion, which improves the accuracy of hand tracking.

Content

  • Ensure that several websites work properly: Google Meet, Soundcloud, museodelprado.es, zingmp3.vn, nhaccuatui.com
  • Restart Wolvic after the user signs out from their Mozilla account and clears the contents of the Library.

Huawei Vision Glass

  • This version introduces support for the Huawei Vision Glass, a set of AR glasses which are tethered to the smartphone and can display immersive content. The phone itself can be used as a controller, with a new secondary UI that includes a touchpad and media controls.

Others

  • The app version code will be autogenerated from now on, based on the date when a package was created.
  • Refresh battery levels less frequently, which helps preserve battery, and improve how the current battery level is displayed.
  • Remove the passthrough layer when entering immersive mode on Meta and other platforms, which improves performance and avoids glitches.
  • Many, many bugfixes and stability improvements.
