I have been researching this a bit and it seems there are tons of different ways and plugins for this. What I want to do is:
From the examples I saw on the internet, it seems like you can scan QR codes, but it just shows you the data saved on the code. It doesn't redirect you to the website. Do plugins like this one https://developer.vuplex.com/webview/overview allow you to be redirected to the website after scanning the QR code?
I appreciate any help, I thought maybe somebody has experience with this already.
I looked into all of the possibilites.
About QR code, you can refer to QR code tracking overview - Mixed Reality | Microsoft Learn and microsoft/MixedReality-QRCode-Sample at OpenXR (github.com).
After you get the URL by scanning the QR code, you can use LaunchUriAsync to open the URL in browser. For more information, please refer to Launch the default app for a URI - UWP applications | Microsoft Learn. It should be noted that using WinRT API in Unity needs to add preprocessor directives, please refer to Unity - Manual: WinRT API in C# scripts for UWP (unity3d.com).
Regarding the WebView mentioned in the link you provided, you can refer to HoloLens 2 release notes | Microsoft Learn, the WebView 2 preview is already available in the latest update. But note that this feature is still in preview state, and there are some known issues, please refer to Get started with WebView2 in HoloLens 2 Unity apps (Preview) - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Learn for more information. If you are interested in this feature, please keep an eye on it.
