Gyroscopic Background Images

This is a javascript library that uses the WebVR API to create web backgrounds that move with your phone. I have a vision for it to be the next "parallax" of the web. Feel free to contribute!

license version

Only supported on WebVR compatible devices.

Installation

npm

npm install --save gyrobackground
# Or yarn add gyrobackground
require('gyrobackground')  // e.g., with Browserify or Webpack.

Usage

//new GyroBackground( containerEl, imageURL, options )

var background = new GyroBackground('#myImage', 'imgs/4.jpg', {
