A three.js camera that mimics 2d maps navigation with pan and zoom

three.map.control

Mobile friendly three.js camera that mimics 2d maps navigation with pan and zoom.

DEMO

Features

• Touch friendly. Drag scene around with single finger touch, or zoom it with standard pinch gesture.

• Zoom into point. Use your mouse wheel to zoom into particular point on the scene.
• Easing. When you pan around, the movement does not stop immediately. Smooth kinetic panning gives natural feel to it.

• Tiny. It's less than 400 lines of documented code.

usage

// let's say you have a standard THREE.js PerspectiveCamera:
var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 40, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 3000 );

// To turn on a map-like navigation:
var createPanZoom = require('three.map.control');

// We assume that three.js scene is hosted inside DOM element `container`
var panZoom = createPanZoom(camera, container);

// That's it. panZoom wil now listen to events from `container`. You can pan and
// zoom with your mouse or fingers (on touch device)

// If you want to dispose three.js scene, make sure to call:
panZoom.dispose();
