WebVR Utility
To test the demo, just load the following URL on both your phone and your desktop.
http://mirrorvr.alvinwan.com/demo
To get started, include these two scripts in your webVR project, after your AFRAME import.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/socket.io/2.1.1/socket.io.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/alvinwan/mirrorvr@0.2.1/dist/mirrorvr.min.js"></script>
Then, add the `camera-listener` and `onload-init-mirror` AFRAME components to your camera, like below:
<a-camera onload-init-mirror camera-listener></a-camera>
That's it! Then, load your project on both your phone and your desktop.
Need to synchronize more than the camera? MirrorVR uses a notification system:
First, pick a name for this update. Here, we will use time. Second, send a notification that state has changed. The first argument is the name you picked, and the second is state information.
mirrorVR.notify('time', new Date());
Third, process the notification. To do so, pass configuration options into mirrorVR.init.
mirrorVR.init({
state: {
time: {
onNotify: function(data) {
console.log('Time is ' + data);
}
}
}
})
For more information, advanced options, and other configurations, see the README.
Pro tip: Have multiple pairs of phones and desktops? Just have each pair load a different anchor. e.g., John and Jane can share example.com#roomA, while Bob and Eve can share example.com#roomB.
