Integration
This integration is built by the WarpVR development team supported by the Igloo application integration team. The integration enables the 360 video output to be displayed in a suitable format for Igloo immersive spaces.
Demo scenarios
Create a WebView and access the demo scenarios at http://www.warpvr.com/demo. There are four demo scenarios and they are all interactive.
Igloo View
Select one of the scenarios and choose to play the scenario ‘In this browser’.
Modify the WebView properties so that the resolution is 6000 x 1000 and then add the Cubemap to Equirectangular and TruePerspective effects.
Setting the resolution to 6000 x 1000 is the trigger for the scenario to be rendered as a cubemap.
Use the ICE Control Panel, Cast mouse page to move the on-screen cursor and select the answers to the questions that appear during the scenario. At the end of the scenario you receive an overall score for the exercise.
WarpVR Login
The first step is obtain an access code for the session. Open a WebView and go to play.warpvr.com. Press the ‘I don’t have a code' button.
It’s important to have the WebView aspect ratio set to a normal portrait style in order for the menu screens to appear correctly.
Enter your WarpVR account email address. The access code will then be sent by email to that address.
When you have received the access code email, click the ‘I have a code’ button and enter the 6 digit code followed by the ‘Sign in’ button.
Once logged in, the Scenarios page will be displayed. Click on a scenario and select the appropriate options from the pop-ups to start the scenario.
WarpVR Scenarios
Now that you have logged in to WarpVR, you can load sessions with preset URLs for WarpVR scenarios. The URL is in the form: http://play.warpvr.com/#/scenarios/22094/play, where 22094 is the scenario number.
To create a session, add a new WebView and set the URL to a WarpVR session. Set the WebView resolution to 6000x1000 and press the Reload page button. This will signal to WarpVR to render the scenario as a cubemap. Apply the Cubemap to Equirectangular and TruePerspective effects to the WebView layer and save the session.
Exiting Scenarios
It is recommended to close WarpVR sessions gracefully by clicking the Stop Playing button in the scenario.
If you press Home before stopping the scenario from playing, a javascript pop-up will appear requesting confirmation to leave the scenario. This pop-up will only be visible on the console display and will therefore block the system for any Canvas UI users.
