Three.js: How to create a crosshair that stay fixed at the center of the scene

I'm using video.js https://videojs.com/ and https://videojs-vr.netlify.app/ to play a VR video. Video.js with the help of videojsvr can do this. Videojs-vr supports Three.js and can access three.js objects using this

var player = videojs('my-video');

player.vr().camera;
player.vr().scene;
player.vr().renderer;

I want to add a crosshair or any dot/circle in the middle of the video/scene that stay fixed even moving the screen within the 360 video. How can I achieve that?

I have the following code

// Add crosshair
addCrosshair() {
    var self = this;
    var player = self.get('player');

    const cursor = new THREE.Mesh(
        new THREE.RingBufferGeometry(0.2, 0.08, 30),
        new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: "#FFFFFF", side: THREE.DoubleSide })
      );
      cursor.position.x = 0;
      cursor.position.y = 0;
      cursor.position.z = -8;

      player.vr().scene.add(player.vr().camera)
      player.vr().camera.add(cursor);
}

It seems to be doing what I need and the dot/small circle stays fixed in the center of the video/scene. However, it affects other three.js object I've placed in the video. It messes up with the rendering of other objects. I've got a theory that it happens because I'm adding the cursor/dot in another camera and then add it to the scene.

I've tried to do add it as another child of my other three.js objects. Although that seem to work too at first, if I move around the view within the 360 video, the cursor/dot doesn't stay fixed in the scene.

Hopefully my question make sense. If you don't have experience using videojs and video-vr.js, can you just help me to position a three.js object/crosshair at the center of the scene no matter where you move the camera view within the scene? Thank you so much in advance! Would be a big help to me.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
