Hi Hopki, has there been any discussion internally about the jittery gyroscope movement issue since it was first brought up?

Hi Hopki, thanks for your response. I understand that the iOS dialogue box only appears once (until you clear history or close out safari). I'm referring to a graphic created in the skin that only appears if the iOS 13 user has not yet allowed motion and orientation. For example, I would like to hav...

Hi Hopki, I'm having trouble creating an object (an image with iOS 13 specific gyro instruction) that is visible only for ios 13 users who first come to the site, but that isn't visible when the same user comes back to the site and has already allowed access to the gyro. I've tried so many iteration...

Thomas, please disregard my last reply, it is working. I now see how I have to rearrange my ux to make it work more intuitively. Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately I’m not seeing a “gyro” or “enter vr” button. Is this a setting in the skin?

Thomas, thank you for the quick program update to this ever changing gyroscope issue. I have updated to the latest version (6.1). I see in the release notes that there is now a fix for iOS 13: “ A fix has been added to allow access to the gyroscope in iOS 13 (update your projects to the latest playe...

Thanks Thomas!

here's the most conclusive article I've found, but I don't know how to apply the code into the skin. I'm hoping somebody can figure it out and share with the community... https://tinyurl.com/y3phm82o from the article: "To request permission, we would just need to call a method on the DeviceMotionEve...

i Think I found the solution, I just don’t know how to implement it... Permissions APIs have been created for DeviceMotionEvent and DeviceOrientationEvent.

Hi, Apple has yet again changed the way it handles how it allows the gyroscope to function on safari in iOS 13. They removed the "motion and orientation access" toggle in the settings. Now you're supposed to be able to use a permissions API to prompt the user to allow the phone to grant access to th...

Hopefully a future version will have a solution for smoothing out the gyro movement that’s native to the skin. In the interim, is there a creative solution using code in an advanced mode, or css style? I’ve attempted to do so, but that’s not my strong suite. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, didn’t realize the distinction. I am using Webvr - it must have been the default setting when transitioning from v5 to v6, as I didn’t actively choose it, but the webvr folder was generated with the output.

Thanks,
Jesse

Hi Hopki, I'm currently using v6.1 beta 2.

here's my site: the360listing.com

Hi, wondering if there's a way to smooth the movement of the gyroscope now that it is controlled in the skin. In version 5, there's a "smooth movement" control which does a nice job. In version 6.1, the gyroscope movement is very jittery and the return to horizon is very fast. Any way to control the...

Hi Hopki, It appears that I can’t control the scroll area with code. I’ve tried a variety of lines in the css styles area, but nothing effects it. Is this the right approach or is there another place I should be entering code? Sorry to harp on this point, but lack of smooth, or momentum scrolling in...
