Location-based examples

A brief summary of each example follows below. Aside from hello-world, the majority of the applications have a simulated lattitude and longitude; please modify the code to use your actual latitude and longitude.

• hello-world: a simple example placing a cube at a given latitude and longitude. You must edit the code to supply your latitude and longitude.

• projected-based-camera : version of hello-world using gps-projected-camera and gps-projected-entity-place.

• click-places - a version of hello-world which demonstrates click events on entities. Please look at the code and note how the raycaster is working.

• always-face-user - shows how you can use A-Frame's look-at component to create an entity which always faces the user.

• avoid-shaking - demonstrates the parameters needed to minimise shaking effects. Please look at the source code for full details.

• show-arbitrary-distant-places - shows how you can view AR content many kilometres away using the videoTexture component. (In fact, currently, all working examples use videoTexture due to an issue - pending investigation - which occurs if it's not set)

• places-name - shows the use of a web API to download local POIs but currently non-operational due to the CORS proxy no longer being available.

• peakfinder-2d - shows the use of an OpenStreetMap based web API to download local summits. Does not include elevation though, hence the 2d. Uses a working proxy.

• osm-ways - shows how you can use AR.js to show not just simple point features but more complex geodata such as polylines. Downloads OpenStreetMap ways (roads, footpaths etc) from a server and renders them as polylines.
