Hi,
I'm having some troubles getting the VR mode to work with an GearVR. In the Samsung browser, the icon doesn't show up for some reason, when I put the headset on, so I modified the script to automatically start into VR mode. It works on desktop with Firefox Nightly and Chromium. I had no luck on Samsung Internet GearVR tough - even forcing the VR mode, nothing happens. If it helps, this is the test page: http://brane.me/fichte2
Shouldn't the GearVR browser be compatible?
Also is it possible to automatically use device orientation on mobile instead of touch, kinda like aframe does?
Thank you!

Hello,
We will try your sample with the Samsung Gear browser and see why it doesn't work.
Regarding this question:
We are working on a gyro controller for mobile device. This feature is in development and will be released as soon as it is ready
We get back to you for the Gear VR browser in a moment!
Thank for your report!

Hi d_brane,
We found the issue!
In your html page you have to add the following tag in your <head></head> section.
Unless your WebVR button will be positioned outside the screen.
Note that you shouldn't force the WebVR mode, this causes an unexpected error.
Hope this helps!

Hey Raphaël,
Good to hear
Yes, that worked! Also reverted to original WebVRbutton now, as you said forcing VR mode like that creates problems, and it's working fine now too! Thank you so much!
