Goal:

• Create an API that when provided an JPGVR image, returns encoded XMP metadata.
  • This metadata includes audio, left lens image / right lens image, and dimension data
• Create an aFrame XR Web app that utilizes this JPGVR API to display images on the Oculus Quest web browser and play sound: Adapt this to the web from unity, and make it better

My current collection of .vr.jpg photos: Album

Tech:

• Rust with rexiv2 to convert files wrapped with Node JS to deliver files in a rest api.
• aFrame
• Typescript + WebAsm

Steps:

• [ ] Finish "learning rust" guide
• [ ] Save an apk / ipa of google cardboard camera just in case it gets randomly: https://killedbygoogle.com/
• [ ] Use rexiv2 to convert a .vr.jpg file into parts
• [ ] Design an api around what parts of XMP metadata are valuable.
• [ ] Webapp that runs the conversion in web assembly
  • [ ] Dev usability goal: typescript around web as bindings?
• [ ] Design an aFrame app that runs on the quest browser that displays a left / right image hard coded as a static asset
• [ ] Add audio
• [ ] Basic Oculus Touch controls support
• [ ] Add pinned image wheel rotation around you with hand pinch

... figure out the easiest implementation of some sort of file storage to integrate

• maybe github sign in or something?
