I’ve been having a lot of fun with equirectangular projections, and wanted a place to share them in a VR-friendly way. To that end, I’ve set up VRComix.net. Each post there is an equirectangular image wrapped in a simple A-Frame scene to allow it to be viewed in any WebVR-compatible headset.
A-Frame worked really great for this, since all I really needed way to display the image as the skybox of a scene in a WebVR-compatible way. Using A-Frame allowed me to just have a very simple snippet instead of a non-trivial amount of code. I’ll still be sticking with ThreeJS or direct WebGL for other projects, but it was definitely the right tool for the job for this one.
