Google VR ANE V1.0.0 for Android+iOS

Google Virtual Reality SDK works on Android and iOS so why shouldn't it work on Air? The current release of this cool ANE will let you use 360 degree images in your own application. we are working on adding 360 video playback also but we decided to release the ANE sooner because we were receiving many requests for supporting 360 image VR experience. So, here it is.

Notice: To support Virtual 3D world is not in our to-do list at the moment because rendering the 3D world in Virtual Reality is happening in OpenGL inside Java/Objectice-C environment and ANEs cannot provide this feature to AS3

Main Features:

360 image preview based on device orientation
supporting Google VR Mode for cardboard
100% identical AS3 API for Android and iOS

NOTICE: the demo ANE works only after you hit the "OK" button in the dialog which opens. in your tests make sure that you are NOT calling other ANE methods prior to hitting the "OK" button. Download the ANE

import com.myflashlab.air.extensions.googleVR.events.ImgViewEvents;
import com.myflashlab.air.extensions.googleVR.events.VREvents;
import com.myflashlab.air.extensions.googleVR.imgView.VRImageConfig;

VR.init();

// add listeners
VR.api.addEventListener(VREvents.NATIVE_WINDOW_CLOSED, onVRClosed);
VR.api.imageView.addEventListener(ImgViewEvents.LOAD_FAILED, onLoadFailed);
VR.api.imageView.addEventListener(ImgViewEvents.LOAD_SUCCESS, onLoadSuccess);

// configure the 360 image object you want to launch
var vrSetting:VRImageConfig = new VRImageConfig();
vrSetting.btnExit = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("exit.png");
vrSetting.image360 = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("360Img.jpg");
vrSetting.imageType = VRImageConfig.TYPE_STEREO_OVER_UNDER;
vrSetting.vrModeButtonEnabled = true;

// and finally attach the Image Config instance to the VR ANE
VR.api.imageView.attach(vrSetting);
