(1.0.0) WebView

Open

Use the WebView Layer to display any web page in ICE

Settings

URL

Type in the full web page URL that you wish to display.

Resolution

Specify the Width and Height which the web page is rendered at in pixels

Dynamic Browser Resolution

When enabled the underlying resolution of the browser will be updated whenever the scale of the layer changes.

When disabled, modifying the scale of the layer will have no effect on the browser resolution. This could be useful for the following

• When using a very high-resolution workspace canvas, creating WebView's at native resolution may hinder performance

• Using a WebView to display a Cubemap / Equirectangular webpage requires the WebView resolution be a fixed resolution and aspect ratio

Use Custom FPS

When enabled the frame rate of a WebView can be set independently of the ICE application framerate.

Keyboard & Mouse Control

Once added, the web page can be controlled by selecting the WebView layer within the Workspace and clicking and dragging the mouse within the layer.

Media

The Web Browser Input utilises the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) and has most of the features available in the Google Chrome browser, this includes audio playback and other media features such as WebRTC, and WebGL

Audio

Audio is fully supported with the WebView input and can be independently mixed just like any other audio source in ICE

Dev Tools

Chrome Dev Tools can be used to inspect and debug the state of WebViews within ICE.

Chrome DevTools - Chrome Developers

To do so, ICE must be opened using the command line parameter.

remoteDebugPort=n

Where n is the port number.
