feat: update A-Frame version and drag component
Upgraded to A-Frame 1.5.0 for improved VR features and compatibility,
and switched to a maintained version of the aframe-click-drag-component
to ensure ongoing support and stability.

This update addresses potential compatibility issues with newer VR
environments and provides access to the latest features and fixes from
A-Frame. By moving to a maintained version of the click-drag component,
we ensure that our application stays robust against future changes in
the A-Frame ecosystem.

aframe-click-drag-component

A Click & Drag component for A-Frame. This is a fork of the original aframe-click-drag-component to make it work in current versions of A-Frame (tested with 1.5.0).

Entities with the click-drag component can be click and dragged around the 3D scene. Even works whle the camera is moving or rotating!

Applying click-drag conditionally

You can conditionally apply click-drag behaviors by specifying an enabled attribute in your click-drag property:

...
<a-sphere click-drag="enabled: false" position="0 1.25 -1" radius="1.25" color="#EF2D5E"></a-sphere>
...
