You can view the examples with VR or Non-VR. Drag and stretch features only available for VR.
Controls for VR:

Simple use of AR.js with hiro image marker to display web2vr elements. User needs camera.
Room 3D model with lots of bootstrap examples placed everywhere. Examples are taken from Bootsnipp. Each example shows a feature of Web2VR. Low-end computers may get lower performance because of the room model and lighting.
This is full working web app of video platform that is entirely written with HTML, CSS and JS then translated to web2vr elements. Entire web app has dynamic elements to show that Web2VR works with dynamic elements. If the user is viewing in Non-VR then the watch will be shown in the top left corner of the window. If you click 360 video as your first video to watch it wont load because of aframe-environment-component bugs.
Left window is normal browser HTML while right side is translated version in A-Frame.
