Aframe double vision on Gear VR with stereo
I have a strange issue on aframe on Samsung Gear VR (in Chrome via a Cordova app).
Generally everything is fine until I load stereo video using the stereo component
Here the video is fine, however the cursor and any other 3D elements in the scene show double in the VR headset.
You can see in this screenshot that the cursor , text and pause button are not in alignment with the man behind, i.e. the the cursor on the right is on his shirt.
That is partly because of the stereo effect, but if there is no stereo effect the cursor and other 3D elements line up and are clear in a headset. With the stereo effect they are all doubled in the headset.
The cursor is here
{/* Camera */}
<Entity rotation={defaultCameraRotation}>
<Entity primitive='a-camera' id='camera' mouse-zoom wasd-controls={wasdControls} stereocam="eye:left">
{
isVrEnabled &&
<Entity position="0 0 -1"
geometry="primitive: ring; radiusInner: 0.02; radiusOuter: 0.026;"
material={cursorMaterial}
scale={cursorFuseScale}
cursor={cursorAttributes}>
<a-animation {...cursorClickAnimation} />
<a-animation {...cursorFuseAnimation} />
<Entity position="0 0 0"
geometry="primitive: ring; radiusInner: 0.01; radiusOuter: 0.015;"
material="color:white; shader: flat; opacity:0.7;"/>
</Entity>
}
</Entity>
</Entity>
It doesn't have this problem if you look to the side or back, only when facing the 3D video.i.e. if you turn to the side and look at the edge, the cursor lines up.

You need a browser with native WebVR support like Oculus Browser or Samsung Internet. Polyfilled WebVR won’t work well in Gear VR. Unfortunately, It doesn’t seem that Cordova is WebVR compatible.
Chrome ships WebVR but only on daydream-ready phones and does not support GearVR. If you have a Samsung S8 / S9 and a daydream view you can enable WebVR in chrome://flags and stereo alignment should be correct.

The video is a sphere far away not affected by perspective. Misalignments, wrong IPD or distortion are less or not noticeable.

Chrome doesn’t support Gear VR. Chrome for Android does have WebVR but disabled by default. As far as I know Cordova also ships with older versions (not latest Chrome)

Ah.. ok. So everything else that is closer needs to have those attributes applied
