WebXR Controller Button Press not working

[EricLu]

Hi. I am trying to build WebXR applications on the Vive XR Elite. When I develop using the WebXR input profiles on the Vive browser, somehow only the grip button and trigger button could be detected on the controller. The A/B/X/Y/Thumbstick buttons are not working. Please check this scene for a demo of the issue: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#28EKWI#490. If you go to this link on the Vive browser and go in immersive vr mode, when you press a button, a cube will change scale. Though only three buttons on the controller is detected.

The WebXR input profiles does not support Vive XR Elite (https://github.com/immersive-web/webxr-input-profiles/tree/main/packages/assets/profiles), so I used the Vive focus 3 profile, which has essentially the same controller components. I wonder whether this is the issue, or a vive browser wolvic version issue. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @EricLu,

For the demo, you already used Vive Focus 3 profile and you found out that some buttons not working, am I right?

[EricLu]

Yes, that is correct! I used the Vive focus 3 profile and used the Vive browser to open it.

We have this exact same issue with our BabylonJS WebXR application, and HTC Vive devices are the only ones (we test with 5 different devices, from 4 different vendors, total) that are affected. The Vive XR Elite controllers aren't included in webxr-input-profiles, which means button mapping do not work and the controllers shown in our BabylonJS app are incorrect (still Vive controllers, but not XR Elite). Even if it were fixed in input profiles, we'd need a newer version of Wolvic to see the new controller models properly.
