WebVR - Entering VR from Edge WebView control hosted in UWP app
I'm attempting to run WebVR content in a UWP app running in Windows Mixed Reality. I have an Edge WebView control in a XAML UWP app. That control navigates to a page with WebVR content. The page initially renders correctly in my UWP app, and it allows me to pan around the VR scene in 2D, but when I click the "Enter VR" button on the page, nothing happens.
My expectation / hope is that this would behave like Edge, and if a Windows Mixed Reality headset is attached the page would render in an immersive view.
I've tested demos built using A-Frame and BabylonJS. Both work correctly in Edge, allowing the user to enter an immersive VR view, but neither work when running in an Edge WebView control.
Does the Edge WebView control support immersive WebVR content? If not, recommendations for launching into WebVR experiences from a UWP app, other than starting a new Edge instance?

Hi Matt,
Confirmed that this is working with the April 2018 update. The big catch / caveat is to ensure that you are running the WebView control in a separate process. Take a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webvr/webvr-in-webview for a sample that demonstrates how to do what I believe you are trying to accomplish.
Thanks,
Rob
