[bdmg06114]

Hi, I'm a middle school student and I wanna use this for a VR cinema project. but due to my budget i gotta make it with google cardboard so there's a few questions.

1. Can I use it as texture? so that i can project it to mesh. cause i want it to be customizable screen.
2. will it affect performance? cause i don't think i have a great phone.
3. How can i interect with webview object like raycast?
   hope you reply soon:) and Thank you for let us use this amazing code free

This plugin places a native WebView over the unity's rendering view and doesn't allow to place the webview in 3D space, so it is not adequate for VR. Related discussions can be found in several issues. The following comments include some useful links (but they might not be directly utilized).

You can also find assets on Asset Store (although they might be a bit expensive), for example,

WebGL is not directly related to this issue. What are you talking about?

@KojiNakamaru
so it is not adequate for VR
I have a query regarding the above context: What if I need to run it on a 2D app running on a VR headset?
And would it be fullscreen, I mean immersive?

I've not tried to test this plugin for VR headsets, and I guess it heavily depends on each VR headset. For example, a VR headset based on an ordinal smartphone utilizes the smartphone's single screen to display two images for left/right eyes. This plugin however shows a single WebView on the screen so it won't appear correctly for left/right eyes. In order to support various VR headsets correctly, rendering webviews in 3D seems to be required even if you render only 2D games.

Thank you for the prompt response, it's greatly appreciated.
Just one more question: Is it possible to inject JavaScript into it while running on Android?

@HafizMSaad
Yes, you can utilize EvaluateJS(), for example:

    webViewObject.EvaluateJS("document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'red'");
