Important notes and limitations
- Product downloads are provided through the Vuplex Developer Dashboard.
- This package only supports UWP. To support other platforms, you can install additional 3D WebView packages (Windows and macOS, Android, iOS). All of the 3D WebView packages work seamlessly together, so all you need to do is install them into the same project, and then 3D WebView automatically detects and uses the correct plugin at runtime and build time.
- 3D WebView's native UWP plugins are provided as precompiled libraries, and the native source code for them is not provided.
- 3D WebView's native UWP plugins can't run in the editor, so a mock webview implementation is used by default while running in the editor. However, you can actually load and render real web content in the editor by also installing 3D WebView for Windows and macOS into the project.
- Compatible with both Hololens 1 and 2.
- Currently, when a text input is focused on Hololens, no blinking text caret appears. However, the text caret appears when running on desktop.
- The web rendering frame rate of the UWP plugin is relatively slow (<10 FPS) due to UWP limitations.
- The UWP plugin doesn't support hover or drag-and-drop interactions.
- The UWP plugin supports transparent webviews on desktop but not on Hololens.
