Note: This documentation is for the old 1.4.0 version of A-Frame. Check out the documentation for the current 1.5.0 version

The daydream-controls component interfaces with the Google Daydream controllers. It wraps the tracked-controls component while adding button mappings, events, and a Daydream controller model that highlights the touched and/or pressed buttons (trackpad).

As a first time set up, to use the Daydream controller on Chrome for Android enable both WebVR and Gamepad Extensions experiments in chrome://flags and relaunch the browser.

Then, open your web app, enter VR mode and place the phone inside the headset. It can occasionally take a few seconds before the controller can be used.

Example

<!-- Match Daydream controller if present, regardless of hand. -->
<a-entity daydream-controls></a-entity>

<!-- Match Daydream controller if present and for specified hand. -->
 <a-entity daydream-controls="hand: left"></a-entity>
 <a-entity daydream-controls="hand: right"></a-entity>
