TO DO

• As it turns out, vr.js has no SDK2 support so you will need to use webvr. Branch needed
• Part of the reason you can't pick things up is because the key for enabling collisions is now used to adjust the camera. Branch needed.
• update everything to sh's for portability
• suppress errors for unbound textures
• Catch improperly formatted json data or figure out what causes it.
• Use the 360deg camera to get a nice video to put into threejs. Maybe take pictures and stagger it a bit so it is almost augmented. Branch needed
• Stay woke
