Hey folks,

I asked this on the Facebook group but didn't get any responses, so thought I'd ask here.

In VR on my Quest 2, hotspots either show as spheres or a custom image (if I have set one for a hotspot). The problem is, the spheres or custom image are very small. They only become a sensible size if I hover over them, but for practical purposes of navigation they are too small to use. They seem to change size on hover, so how can I disable the hover effect of the hotspots and make them a static size for VR (in the same way they are a static size normally?)

I have a video demonstrating this on the Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Pano2VR ... 5925779704

Many thanks,
Graham.

Hi Graham,
In WebVR the spinning globes do this, they are small but when you hover the wand over the point hotspot it will get larger.
I can not remember if this is the same behaviour if you use a custom hotspot image but so need to test tomorrow.
The best thing to do is if you ask a question and not getting a response you can always contact support, link below.
Please do so and this will remind me to test.

Cheers Hopki,
I am convinced you don't sleep ;-) Yeah it does it with the custom graphic too. Ideally I would like the hotspots to be their original size in VR, as it is shrinking them down and expanding on hover, and to do away with the hover effect entirely.

I'll cc this to your email :-)

Many thanks,
Graham.

Hi Graham,
If you add a custom hotspot it will behave like the default WebVR hotspot and get larger when you hover over it with the wand.
However, if you select 3D distortion and set the size it will stay the size you set.

Hello,
I had the same problem.
Activating 3D distortion works great.
The hotspot position is now also fixed. So that the hotspot doesn't float around when you move your head/position.
