I am trying to create stereo panoramas (no hot-spots at the moment). I can seem to get this working on 5.1 beta pro (5.6.2) and the cardboard.ggsk skin with the cardboard.ggt html template. However, when I view the created web page on my phones (an iPhone 7 + and a Samsung S6) I can see the title bar on the browser.

Is it possible to force full screen mode?

Hi,
Just add a fullscreen button with the action to go fullscreen on click, but also add a hide self action for the button.
You will need to press the button on both sides for Android.
Apple don't support it but you will still need to press them to make them hide, with Apple just rotate the phone to landscape to get rid of any browser chrome.
Regards,
Hopki

I will look into this - I am not exactly skilled at coding.

Assuming I get it to work, is this the only/best way? It seems a bit crude to have to press two buttons on an Android phone (one for each eye, right?). Also, early test with iPhone doesn't remove the browser when I tip it on its side.

Thankyou,
Rich
