Description
Description:
The initial/default camera rotation seems to be wrong since an update to Chrome/Android. As seen in the example, the camera should face the logo at the start (which it does on desktop). However on the device specified below the camera faces 180 degrees.
Side note - is there a 'look at' type method for the camera that would correct this for me in the short term?
- A-Frame Version: 0.8.2
- Platform / Device: Chrome 67.0.3396.87 / Android 8.0.0 / OnePlus 3T

Research direction
Start by reproducing the camera orientation at https://www.homerandfarley.com/ with A-Frame 0.8.2 on Chrome 67 running on Android 8.0 and compare it with desktop behavior. Trace the initial camera setup and device-orientation handling, then verify that the camera faces the logo at startup on the reported device without regressing desktop behavior.
