Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

aframe-daydream-controller-component

A daydream-controller component for A-Frame.

Usage

This component requires a Daydream compatible device with a Daydream controller.

If you do not have a Daydream compatible device or controller, you can still prototype Daydream interactions using my remote emulator system called Dayframe: https://github.com/ryanbetts/dayframe

Device & Browser setup

  1. You should have gone through the Daydream setup steps on your Daydream compatible Android phone.
  2. Download and install Chrome Beta 56: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/beta.html
  3. In Chrome Beta, navigate to chrome://flags and enable both WebVR and the Gamepad API.

You are now ready to drive your Aframe experience with the Daydream controller.

Activating the remote

In the regular 2D view of your page, the remote will not be connected. The Gamepad API only observes the remote when you are in WebVR. Launch VR mode and after everything has loaded you should see the controller in your scene.

Controller positioning and orientation

Because the remote doesn't have 6DOF positional tracking, we need to make an educated guess about where it is positioned based on the orientation of the remote and the hand you are holding it in. Otherwise, things feel awkward.

Right now, we are using the OrientationArmModel class from Boris Smus' (Google) Ray Input library: https://github.com/borismus/ray-input/blob/master/src/orientation-arm-model.js

API

| Property | Description | Default Value | | -------- | ----------- | ------------- | | | | |

Installation

Browser

Install and use by directly including the browser files:

<head>
  <title>My A-Frame Scene</title>
  <script src="https://aframe.io/releases/0.4.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://rawgit.com/ryanbetts/aframe-daydream-controller-component/master/dist/.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
  <a-scene>
    <a-entity daydream-controller></a-entity>
  </a-scene>
</body>

npm

Install via npm:

npm install aframe-daydream-controller-component

Then require and use.

require('aframe');
require('aframe-daydream-controller-component');

To do

  • Dayframe integration: let Dayframe work with this component for a better prototyping experience. ie. accept a stream from a dayframe socket connection instead of observing the gamepads.
