Hi

I made 2 Tours:
One to navigate "normal" and one in VR-Mode to navigate with a HMD (Cardboard 2).
I added a "VR-Mode"-Button to the "normal" Tour. Clicking on this buttons links to the VR-Tour.
I've tried sereval "Actions" like "loaded" or "activation" to start fullscreenmode automatically. I added the "Action" to an object of the skin, but it does not switch to fullscreen after loading the VR-Tour.
It only works when I add an extra fullscreenbutton (with "mouseclick"-action) into the Skin of the VR-Mode.

How can I switch to fullscreen automatically when loading a "VR-Tour" ?

I'm happy if you only answer if you know the right answer ;-)

Kind regards
Alain

In your VR-Tour project:

Using Pano2vr 5.x Add 'Full Screen' item is found

HTML5 Output
Control tab
Context Menu
........[x] Add 'fullscreen' item

Using Pano2vr 4.5.3 'Full Screen' item is found
Output
HTML5
Parameters blue spanner /wrench
/HTML tab
Fullsreen: [x]

Hope this helps

Using [x] full screen item... makes that project full screen. The skin full screen button is not necessary.

It should start full screen automatically on smart phones, tablets and desktops

Full screen "automatically" does not work with p2vr, even full screen command with button call does not work android/iOS (only MS W10). (I would be glad that I am wrong).

In my case it does work with Safari on iOS. Chrome and Firefox don´t go to fullscreen automatically (Browsers adress bar does not hide). These browsers do not even enter fullscreen if you double tap the screen. But double clicking on the tour while looking at it on my PC does work. Kind of strange. Haven´t yet tested it on android, but I think it will be the same.

If Fullscreen works when starting it with a "Cllickaction" (it does in my case) then it should also work automaticaly.
Or how can I trigger a "Clickaction" without really "clicking" on a button ?

Hi Alain,
It is not allowed so you can't do it.

So, you are tapping, that is an action and therefore not the "full automatic start" of fullscreen, as requested above...

It doesn't matter if there is an action behind or not.
If fullscreen starts without an additional tapping on the screen then I'm happy.

Really no solution for that ?
