Internet Explorer

Reddit ImgUr Explorer, made for the VR devices.

Try it out on the internets (really needs VR-enabled browser, but eh...)

Loads subreddit ImgUrl images as a 3d gallery. You can use it in a normal ol' browser, but it doesn't feel like you're browsing the future: so go get a Rift and a browser with VR support - see MozVR.com or Chrome builds.

Controls:

/ to enter typing mode. Type a subreddit and hit enter.
WSAD: Move
Arrows: Rotate
Q/E: Up 'n down
Space: Remove an obelisk.
Enter: When you are looking at a "/r/<subreddit>" obelisk, loads the subreddit.
Z: reset VR sensor.

Notes

• The base code (things in /lib: VRManager, VREffect etc) is from the Sechelt demo
• If data isn't loading, make sure you aren't ad-blocking/anti-tracking reddit. Firefox is blocking reddit api calls by default

Todos

• mouse looks left/right (same as arrow keys)
• R should reset sensor (not Z, or and Z)
• typing doesn't disable movment
• making shadows
• handle imgur galleries
• stagger image loading (tonnes of requests is slow in firefox)
• non-square images
• downscale big images (not even needed for Oculus rez)
• faster moving. Double-tap-to-run, or shift run.
