3DStreet

!Build Status

3DStreet creates 3D visualizations of your 2D Streetmix.net streets using A-Frame and WebXR. Developers can use the same core street A-Frame component of 3DStreet for their own projects.

The rest of this README is for developers. User-facing docs are here.

This repo is the 3DStreet Core Viewer. It provides parsing of JSON in Streetmix format into a 3DStreet scene. It also provides all of the core components needed for viewers. It is also a core dependency of the 3DStreet Editor hosted in a separate repository.

This repo's main branch is hosted via github pages at github.3dstreet.org. The 3DStreet Editor uses this path to fetch 3DStreet dependencies. A-Frame developers leveraging 3DStreet Core will also use this path.

A-Frame component

3DStreet is built upon a custom A-Frame street component which is also available for you to customize for your own custom A-Frame street scenes. The street component takes a string of JSON and renders one or more "segments" (also known as lanes or slices) of a street and optionally buildings and ground to the left and right.

The street component creates a street made up of one or more segments as children of the entity it's attached to. It may also create buildings, ground, and place models in the scene using mixins. Creating the JSON array of segments by hand is cumbersome and typically the streetmix-loader component (below) is also used on the same entity to populate the street JSON from a Streetmix.net street.

| Property | Description | Default Value |
| --------- | --------- | --------- |
| JSON | A string of JSON containing an array one or more segments (also known as slices) representing cross-section parts of a street. See basic-json.html for an example of proper usage | '' |
| type | A string representing the formatting of the JSON passed in the JSON property | 'streetmixSegmentsFeet' |
| left | A string to determine which building variant to create for the left side of the street (heading outbound) | '' |
| right | A string to determine which building variant to create for the right side of the street (heading outbound). | '' |
| showGround | A boolean to determine if the ground associated with the specified building variant(s) in left and right should be created or not. | true |
| showStriping | A boolean to determine if the lane stripings should be created or not. | true |
| length | A number that sets the street's length in meters | 150 |

The intersection component creates an intersection surface with options for adding curbs, sidewalks, crosswalks, stop signs, and traffic signals.

| Property | Description | Default Value |
| --------- | --------- | --------- |
| dimensions | Specifies the width and depth of the intersection. First value represents width, second value represents depth. | '20 20' |
| sidewalk | Sets the width of the sidewalk at each side of the intersection. Values are set in the order of west, east, north, south. | '0 0 0 0' |
| northeastcurb | Sets the curb dimensions for the north east curb. Values are updated as width, then depth. | '0 0' |
| southwestcurb | Sets the curb dimensions for the south west curb. Values are updated as width, then depth. | '0 0' |
| southeastcurb | Sets the curb dimensions for the south east curb. Values are updated as width, then depth. | '0 0' |
| northwestcurb | Sets the curb dimensions for the north west curb. Values are updated as width, then depth. | '0 0' |
| stopsign | Sets if each side of the intersection has a stop sign. Values are set in the order of east, west, north, south. 0 is false, 1 is true. | '0 0 0 0' |
| trafficsignal | Sets if each side of the intersection has a traffic signal. Values are set in the order of east, west, north, south. 0 is false, 1 is true. | '0 0 0 0' |
| crosswalk | ​​Sets if each side of the intersection has a crosswalk. Values are set in the order of east, west, north, south. 0 is false, 1 is true. | '0 0 0 0' |

The streetmix-loader component requests a Streetmix API response when given a unique street URL and then passes the segments array JSON as a string to the street component (which is a dependency -- you must have the street component on the same entity as that of the streetmix-loader component).

| Property | Description | Default Value |
| --------- | --------- | --------- |
| streetmixStreetURL | A string representing a "user facing" Streetmix street URL such as https://streetmix.net/kfarr/3/ | '' |
| streetmixAPIURL | A string representing the Streetmix API street URL such as https://streetmix.net/api/v1/streets/7a633310-e598-11e6-80db-ebe3de713876 | '' |
| showBuildings | A Boolean that determines whether or not buildings are rendered | true |

Either 1 of the 2 properties are required. If both are provided the component will use streetmixAPIURL value and ignore streetmixStreetURL.

#### Orientation and Scale
A default Streetmix.net cross-section view is oriented to show vehicles heading away from you as "outbound". The street component follows this convention and when placed in a new A-Frame scene the default camera is looking toward the outbound direction of the generated street. The default rendering is 1:1 scale.

#### Automatic Asset Loading
When aframe-street-component.js is included on a page it automatically loads 3D models and other assets using the A-Frame asset loader by adding them to the scene's a-assets block and defining mixins pointing to these assets. The street component itself simply places entities with appropriate mixin names. For more information on the asset loader see this docs link.

- The word animated can be added to the variantString of the type sidewalk to make the pedestrians animated. Here is an example of how this can be implemented:
`
{
"width": 9,
"variantString": "normal|animated",
"type": "sidewalk"
}
`
Please see animated.html for a demo.

3DStreet does not yet support all of the street segments found in Streetmix. You may find some segments don't display at all or are missing 3D elements. Here is a complete list:

| Streetmix Segment Type | 3DStreet Support? | Variants | Notes and Model Source |
| ---------------------------- | --------- | ------ | ----- |
| sidewalk | Yes - Partial | empty | All variants show empty sidewalk, no pedestrian 3d models or density variants. |
