imclab/webvr-polyfill

A polyfill for WebVR which uses web APIs to provide similar functionality. Mostly for Cardboard and desktop/mobile fallbacks.

WebVR Polyfill

This project provides a JavaScript implementation of the WebVR spec.

The goal of this project is two fold:

1. Use WebVR today, without requiring a special browser build.
2. View (mono) content without a virtual reality headset.

Implementation

CardboardHMDVRDevice provides default parameters for Cardboard's interpupillary distance and headset.

GyroPositionSensorVRDevice uses the DeviceMotionEvents (which map roughly to the gyroscope) to polyfill head-tracking on mobile devices. This is used both in Cardboard, and for Spotlight Stories-style experiences.

MouseKeyboardPositionSensorVRDevice uses mouse events to allow you to do the equivalent of mouselook. It also uses keyboard arrows and WASD keys to look around the scene with the keyboard.

Experimental WebcamPositionSensorVRDevice uses your laptop's webcam in order to introduce translational degrees of freedom.
