Aframe-passthrough-component NPM

aframe-passthrough

Shows webcam or phone camera video feed inside an A-Frame Web-VR environment.

Installation

Requires Aframe >= 0.3.0

Browser

Install and use by directly including the browser files:

<head>
  <title>My A-Frame Scene</title>
  <script src="https://aframe.io/releases/0.2.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://rawgit.com/flysonic10/aframe-passthrough/master/dist/aframe-passthrough-component.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
  <a-scene>
    <a-assets></a-assets>
    <a-passthrough width="16" height="9"></a-passthrough>
  </a-scene>
</body>

npm

Install via npm:

npm install aframe-passthrough

Then register and use.

require('aframe');
require('aframe-passthrough');

Notes

The passthrough component will show the camera feed from a webcam when viewed on a desktop, and will attempt to use the back-facing camera when viewed on a mobile device.

Roadmap

Cool additions would be:

Camera selector: to select between front and back facing cameras on mobile
Mirror attribute: to flip the view to mirrored
