Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

react-vr-player

VR / 360° Video Player as a React Component

It it adapted from eleVR player, which you can find here

You can find a live example of this component here.

What it does support so far

  • 360° Videos
  • Play/Pause
  • Manual rotation (using the keyboard)
  • Seek
  • Mute
  • Fullscreen
  • HMD device (tested on Oculus Rift DK2, and Homido)
  • Local file loading

Install

First, get it from NPM: npm install react-vr-player Then, if you use Webpack, load it up with const VrPlayer = require('react-vr-player') or ES6 import VrPlayer from 'react-vr-player', it should work right out of the box. It (obviously) has React as a dependency, but the already bundled version doesn't contain React.

For an example on how to use it, see this (simple) demo here.

Use

render() {
    const sources = [ // Declare an array of video sources
        { url: '/videos/video.webm', type: 'video/webm' },
        { url: '/videos/video.mp4', type: 'video/mp4' }
    ];
    const keys = { // If you want to re-define the keys, here are the defaults
        left: 'A',
        right: 'D',
        up: 'W',
        down: 'S',
        rotateLeft: 'Q',
        rotateRight: 'E',
        fullScreen: 'F',
        zeroSensor: 'Z',
        playPause: ' '
    };
    return (
        <VrPlayer
            sources={sources}
            brand="Some Brand Name"
            title="Some Video Title"
            keys={keys} />

    );
}

Gotchas

  • The Oculus (and other PC-based VR headsets) are only supported on "beta" versions of Chrome and Firefox (respectively Chromium and Firefox Nightly). I personally recommend Firefox Nightly for now, especially if you are using Oculus Direct Mode which is not working on Chromium.
  • Due to security restrictions on the Browser, only videos from the same domain will work. You can't just reference a video from another domain as the URL, as it will not work because of WebGL restrictions. CORS is being implemented but last time I checked it wasn't working.

Future

  • I'm planning to have feature-parity with eleVR shortly
  • Add control helpers when the video is not started
  • Adding support for "chapters"
  • Making sure it works with the final VR api when this is released
