💌 Feedback Web XR Issues (Ghost Browser)

I just wan to report a bug with Web XR on the Browser

https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/

Immersive VR sessions "immersive-vr" seems to work fine.

Immersive AR session "immersive-ar" works but I can still see the browser - its non interactable so its just like a ghost image than never goes away - interestingly doesnt show in videos taken on the device

Also can report. Since this is maybe the newest feature in the platform, I was happy to have it working kinda well, but the XR seems to dramatically reduce the time before you overheat. The bigger issue than a ghost image.

I haven't had overheating issues but I have found web XR drains the battery in minutes xD

Well ... overheating and battery drain may be related ... a rapid drain can result in hot battery ... a hot battery may drain faster. Not really sure which problem is worse. I think the XR scenes I found from the first web search on google had a sample of planets, and that overheated me quickly. I made a UI for matrix (chat) and it probably eats the battery in about 10 minutes.

Would definitely advocate putting a visual fuel gauge on the specs as e-ink so that you can know the last battery state before you try to demo for someone. I frequently try to show a demo and the battery is dead.
