Description

Description:
It appears that glTF and glb models are not raycastable within Oculus Browser (perhaps others) on Oculus Go, while using laser-controls.

This works on desktop with the cursor component using the same raycaster="objects: [data-clickable];".

This makes it pretty difficult to obstruct raycasting with structures, etc.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

  • A-Frame Version: 0.9.0
  • Platform / Device: Oculus Browser on Oculus Go (perhaps others)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Oculus Browser on Oculus Go with A-Frame 0.9.0, using laser-controls, glTF or glb models, and raycaster="objects: [data-clickable];". Compare the laser-controls behavior with the desktop cursor component. Done means the models can be raycasted and structures can obstruct raycasting as described.
