Browser Installation
This component requires aframe-animation-component.
Install and use by directly including the browser files.
Create a cursor with a cursor-feedback attribute and tag all your interactive
entities with data-interactive="true":
<head>
<title>My A-Frame Scene</title>
<script src="https://aframe.io/releases/0.3.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgit.com/ngokevin/aframe-animation-component/master/dist/aframe-animation-component.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgit.com/gmarty/aframe-ui-components/master/dist/aframe-ui-components.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a-scene>
<a-box position="0 2.5 -8"
data-interactive="true"></a-box>
<a-camera>
<a-cursor fuse="false"
cursor-feedback></a-cursor>
</a-camera>
</a-scene>
</body>It's recommended to deactivate fuse mode when using this component.
If all your interactive objects have a data-interactive attribute, you can
optimise the cursor raycasting this way:
<a-cursor fuse="false"
objects="[data-interactive='true']"
cursor-feedback></a-cursor>target-indicator
Displays an arrow pointing at an object when it is out of sight.

| ------------ | -------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| attenuation | The property of the cursor to animate. | 5 |

Browser Installation

Create an <a-cone> with a material="shader: volumetric-light; attribute:
<head>
<title>My A-Frame Scene</title>
<script src="https://aframe.io/releases/0.3.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgit.com/gmarty/aframe-ui-components/master/dist/aframe-ui-components.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a-scene>
<a-cone height="5"
radius-top="0.5"
radius-bottom="1.5"
open-ended="true"
position="0 2.5 -5"
material="shader: volumetric-light;"></a-cone>
</a-scene>
</body>Ideally set the spotPosition to the position of the entity.
The lightColor attribute requires a Vector3 notation. For example white is
'1 1 1'.
You'll also probably want to use a <a-light type="spot"/> for an improved
effect.
The original code for this shader can be found at github.com/jeromeetienne/threex.volumetricspotlight.
