How to get WebVR working with your brand-new Daydream View & Pixel.

1. Update Daydream app to latest (Play Store)
2. Update Chrome app to latest (Play Store)
   • Tip: if you're feeling brave, download Chrome Canary instead. Better perf and new features.
3. Update Google VR Services (Play Store)
4. Open chrome://flags/#enable-webvr
   • Click "Enable"
5. Open chrome://flags/#enable-vr-shell
   • Set dropdown to "Enabled"
6. Relaunch Chrome
7. Visit a-frame.io
8. Profit!

http://a-frame.io is registered with Chrome's Origin Trials so if you're not doing dev work, and just want to try WebVR, you can update Chrome and skip directly to visiting http://a-frame.io.

I have a Samsung S8 here and this is not working. (the a-frame.io website anyway )

It looks like it is going to work (does the "press the home button to wake the controller")
but then just returns to the a-frame website. ( normal mode, no stereoscopic split screen )

I have the latest everything and all the flags enabled.

One of the more painful things is how when it switches to the app and back it breaks the dev tools connection. so error reporting :(

When I try to use it on my own stuff I get the same result: it just returns back to the normal site without vr.
