look-controls

Note: This documentation is for the old 0.3.0 version of A-Frame. Check out the documentation for the current 1.6.0 version

The look-controls component defines the following behavior of an entity. The look-controls component acts upon the HMD headset, mouse, and touchscreen inputs. A-Frame standard controls are grouped together based upon configuration and behavior rather than by individual input methods:

• Rotate when the head-mounted display (HMD) is rotated.
• Rotate when the mouse is clicked and dragged.
• Rotate when the touchscreen is tapped and dragged.

Example

The look-controls component is usually used alongside the [camera component][components-camera].

<a-entity camera look-controls></a-entity>

Properties

| Property | Description | Default Value | |———–|—————————————————– | enabled | Whether look controls are enabled. | true |

Caveats

If you want to create your own component for look controls, you will have to copy and paste the HMD-tracking bits into your component. In the future, we may have a system for people to more easily implement their controls.
