Aframe: WebXR not working on Chrome desktop and Oculus headsets

Created on 21 Apr 2020 · 8Comments · Source: aframevr/aframe

Chrome has disabled Oculus runtime support in favor of OpenXR. Oculus has not yet shipped OpenXR.
Oculus runtime can be reenabled manually via command line options when launching Chrome:

--enable-features=OculusVR --disable-features=XRSandbox --force-webxr-runtime=OculusVR

There's no action to be taken on the A-Frame side. Once Oculus ships an OpenXR runtime everything should work again.

@Artyom17 Let us know if there's any ETA for this. Thanks

@sec-henning FYI, The flags above are for the Oculus runtime not SteamVR

@De-Panther thanks. I can confirm its working with Rift S. FYI Quest with link cable is not working.

@iq3connect works for me with Quest and link cable...
You need to make sure that there are no Chrome instances in the Task Manager before running Chrome using this
