aframe-websurfaces
An aframe component for adding interactable web pages to your scene.
Check out the live example.
Usage
To create a websurface, just add the websurface component. This will create an iframe and project it's contents onto a plane:
<a-entity websurface></a-entity>Properties
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| url | the url of the web page | "https://aframe.io" |
| width | width of the websurface | 1 |
| height | height of the websurface | 0.75 |
| isInteractable | enables mouse interaction | true |
| frameSkips | updates render* on every n cycles | 1 |
| autoSceneStyling | sets scene.style.position to "absolute" | true |
*note - only the shape of the web page in the scene is affected by this, the web page will still play at normal speed
Members
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| el.websurface_iframe | gives the used iframe |
| el.css3d_context | gives the DOMContext |
| el.css3d_context.domElement | gives the div that stores the css3d |
Additional Info
The web page is not actually present inside the aframe scene, only an empty plane is. Because of this, the web page is not visible in VR.
Under the hood this uses a modified version of three-dom-elements, massive props there.
