aframe-immersive-video-component

A one-liner component for viewing Stereo/Mono 360/180 videos in WebVR, including a control bar for it.

You can choose a 'theme' for the bar.

Also, the component will detect the headset and do the following: On Desktop, you can point and click the UI with the mouse. On Mobile, a gaze-based interaction will be used. On Oculus Go and GearVR, the controller will be used as a laser. On HTC Vive and Oculus you'll also have a 'laser control'.

See example here

For A-Frame.
