npm install
For Mac users
HTTPS=true npm start
Note that, you need to use HTTPS=true
when you try with mobile AR.
Then, please check System Preferences > Network
, and check the IP address.
Make sure to be in the same network. Then, go to the URL.
For example, https://10.0.1.2:3000/toio-sketch
with your iPad or Android device. Just ignore the warning and visit the website anyway.
Replace index.html
with index-8thwall.html
when using iPad or Android. When developing and debugging with the desktop machine, replace index.html
with index-desktop.html
To synchronize the motion between the canvas and toio.js, you need to run "both" localhost:3000 (client-side) and localhost:4000 (server-side).
Therefore, you should run
HTTPS=true npm start
which runs the client-side code at https://localhost:3000/toio-sketch
.
And then open a new tab in Terminal, then
node server.js
which runs the server-side code at http://localhost:4000
.
A-Frame client runs at localhost:3000 and the toio.js server side runs at localhost:4000. Since A-Frame only works with https, so the server also needs to be exposed as https. There are several ways, but we are using tunnleto.dev for https tunneling. To do so, please do the following.
brew install agrinman/tap/tunnelto
tunnelto set-auth --key [YOUR_API_KEY]
tunnelto --subdomain toio-sketch --port 4000
You don't need to do that when you debug and develop within a desktop computer. You can just change
this.socket = io('https://toio-sketch.tunnelto.dev')
to
this.socket = io('http://localhost:4000')
in App.js
. Then, it should work in the desktop.
