The camera primitive places the user somewhere within the scene. It is an entity that prescribes the camera component with mappings to controls-related components.

Note that by default, the camera origin will be at 0 1.6 0 in desktop mode and 0 0 0 in VR mode. Read about the camera.userHeight property.

Example

<a-scene>
  <a-box></a-box>
  <a-camera></a-camera>
</a-scene>

Attributes

Manually Positioning the Camera

To position the camera, set the position on a wrapper <a-entity>. Don’t set the position directly on the camera primitive because controls will quickly override the set position:

<a-entity position="0 0 5">
  <a-camera></a-camera>
</a-entity>
