Introduction

Vrtigo collects and processes metrics in 360 video applications. The vrtigo-reactvr package allows developers to integrate Vrtigo into their React VR applications that make use of 360 content.

Data Collection

All data collection and submission are controlled by the Vrtigo API functions in the table below. The start, unpause, seekEnd, and bufferEnd functions all require an integer representing the relative play position of the video in milliseconds (positionMillis).

The start function, called when a video initially starts playing, additionally requires a string indicating the video being viewed (videoId).

It is important to instrument any event where the playback time changes in the video, such as buffering and seeking/scrubbing, so that the analytics are in sync with the viewer’s behavior.

Data Submission

You control when to send data to Vrtigo. To send data after video playback ends, simply call the submit function after calling the stop function. Important: call submit after calling stop and before calling start again. The submit function returns a Promise object, so be sure to catch any potential errors when calling it.
