ricoh-theta-viewer

This is a npm package which I used for rendering 360 degree images onto my ionic mobile project. The images were captured using a Ricoh Theta S. Major portion of this repo was copied from Aike-thview.js. I have created this new repository because, the old one did not have some of the components like touch event handlings and closing the renderer object. On a device, the renderer, if kept running will eat up the GPU memory and the application will crash at some point of time (for my device, it took only 4 images to crash). Let me know if you need more help on this.

How to use?

Since the three.min.js is already bundled with this npm package, do the following -

import { RicohView } from 'ricoh-theta-viewer';

this.ricohView = new RicohView({ id: "ricoh-360-viewer", file: <fileName>, rendererType: 0, height: window.innerHeight, width: window.innerWidth, zoom: 130 });

<div id="ricoh-360-viewer"></div> on your html page.

• Use ricohView object to call the stopRendering() from your code.

A sample code has been given too at ricoh-theta-viewer-sample

Note

I am only supporting the WebGL renderer for now. Aike's repo supported Canvas and CSS3D as well. Also, the repo did not have any provision for stopping the renderer animation. So added stopRendering().
