Changes from the original library

In order to use this library with g-maps library with webgl option, we changed from aframe next points:

- instead of create a canvas, find the available canvas
- don't renderer the scene/entities. This is handled outside, inside a function that executes when the g-maps ondraw triggers
- added public option to force configuration into the THREE.WebGLRenderer
- all of this is optional by configuring the a-scene use-external-canvas attribute:
``
// <== tries to find and use the canvas by html tag name
// <== tries to find and use the canvas with the css selector
// <== AFrame normal behaviour (ie. creates a canvas internally)
// <== AFrame normal behaviour (ie. creates a canvas internally)
`

Note: you could find changes with between the annotations "[INTERATICA-BEGIN]" & "[INTERATICA-END]".

A-Frame

A web framework for building virtual reality experiences.
















Examples




















_Find more examples on the homepage, A Week of A-Frame, and WebVR Directory._

Features

:eyeglasses: Virtual Reality Made Simple: A-Frame handles the 3D and WebXR
boilerplate required to get running across platforms including mobile, desktop, and all headsets (compatible with a WebXR capable browser) just by dropping in .

:heart: Declarative HTML: HTML is easy to read and copy-and-paste. Since
A-Frame can be used from HTML, A-Frame is accessible to everyone: web
developers, VR and AR enthusiasts, educators, artists, makers, kids.

:electric_plug: Entity-Component Architecture: A-Frame is a powerful
framework on top of three.js, providing a declarative, composable, reusable
entity-component structure for three.js. While A-Frame can be used from HTML,
developers have unlimited access to JavaScript, DOM APIs, three.js, WebXR, and
WebGL.

:zap: Performance: A-Frame is a thin framework on top of three.js.
Although A-Frame uses the DOM, A-Frame does not touch the browser layout
engine. Performance is a top priority, being battle-tested on highly
interactive WebXR experiences.

:globe_with_meridians: Cross-Platform: Build VR and AR applications for any headset compatible with a WebXR capable browser. Don't have a headset or controllers? No
problem! A-Frame still works on standard desktop and smartphones.

:mag: Visual Inspector: A-Frame provides a built-in visual 3D inspector
with a workflow similar to a browser's developer tools and interface similar to
Unity. Open up any A-Frame scene and hit + + i.

:runner: Features: Hit the ground running with A-Frame's built-in
components such as geometries, materials, lights, animations, models,
raycasters, shadows, positional audio, tracked controllers. Get even further
with community components such as particle systems, physics, multiuser, oceans,
mountains, speech recognition, or teleportation!

Usage

$3

Build VR and AR scenes in the browser with just a few lines of HTML! To start playing
and publishing now, remix the starter example on:

![Remix](https://glitch.com/~aframe) ![Fork](https://repl.it/@dmarcos/aframe)

`html








position="1 0.75 -3"
radius="0.5"
height="1.5"
color="#FFC65D"
>
position="0 0 -4"
rotation="-90 0 0"
width="4"
height="4"
color="#7BC8A4"
>




`

With A-Frame's entity-component
architecture, we can drop in community
components from the ecosystem (e.g., ocean, physics) and plug them into our
objects straight from HTML:

![Remix](https://glitch.com/~aframe-registry) ![Fork](https://repl.it/@dmarcos/aframe)

`html









id="rain"
particle-system="preset: rain; color: #24CAFF; particleCount: 5000"
>

id="sphere"
geometry="primitive: sphere"
material="color: #EFEFEF; shader: flat"
position="0 0.15 -5"
light="type: point; intensity: 5"
animation="property: position; easing: easeInOutQuad; dir: alternate; dur: 1000; to: 0 -0.10 -5; loop: true"
>

id="ocean"
ocean="density: 20; width: 50; depth: 50; speed: 4"
material="color: #9CE3F9; opacity: 0.75; metalness: 0; roughness: 1"
rotation="-90 0 0"
>

id="sky"
geometry="primitive: sphere; radius: 5000"
material="shader: gradient; topColor: 235 235 245; bottomColor: 185 185 210"
scale="-1 1 1"
