Usage

Start by cloning/forking the repository and including aframe.depthkit.min.js from the ./dist folder (make sure to clone using --recursive flag if you plan to run the examples to clone the git submodules too)

The simplest way you can initialize a DepthKit video is to create a depthkit entity inside an A-Frame a-scene tag:

<a-scene>
      <a-entity depthkit="type: wire;
                          metaPath: ../ext/DepthKit/assets/Chae/Chae_Demo_Upres.txt;
                          videoPath: ../ext/DepthKit/assets/Chae/Chae_Demo_Upres.webm;
                          autoplay: true;
                          loop: true;">
      </a-entity>
</a-scene>

Where the type attribute support wire/points/mesh for rendering different styles, metaPath is the path to the .txt file with the parameters (exported by DepthKit Visualize) and videoPath is for the path to the video file.
