Detect a head/camera motion with aframe

I'm in search for a motion detection in with a-frame. What I want to achieve is a detection if someone is moving his head when being in VR-Mode. Is there any property for an entity I can check? Or does the camera component itself has any position/rotaion/whatever attributes I can use for a detection?

Solution

  • https://aframe.io/docs/0.3.0/core/entity.html#listening-for-component-changes

    AFRAME.registerComponent('do-something-on-head-movement', {
  init: function () {
    var scene = this.el;
    var camera = scene.cameraEl;

    camera.addEventListener('componentchanged', function (evt) {
      if (evt.detail.name === 'rotation' || evt.detail.name === 'position') {
        // Do something.
      }
    });
  }
});
