VRPose

The VRPose interface of the WebVR API represents the state of a VR sensor at a given timestamp (which includes orientation, position, velocity, and acceleration information).

[!NOTE] This interface was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.

This interface is accessible through the getPose() and getFrameData() methods. getPose() is deprecated.

Instance properties

• position Deprecated Read only
  • : Returns the position of the VRDisplay at the current timestamp as a 3D vector
• linearVelocity Deprecated Read only
  • : Returns the linear velocity of the VRDisplay at the current timestamp, in meters per second.
• linearAcceleration Deprecated Read only
  • : Returns the linear acceleration of the VRDisplay at the current timestamp, in meters per second per second.
• orientation Deprecated Read only
  • : Returns the orientation of the sensor at the current timestamp, as a quaternion value.
• angularVelocity Deprecated Read only
  • : Returns the angular velocity of the VRDisplay at the current timestamp, in radians per second.
• angularAcceleration Deprecated Read only
  • : Returns the angular acceleration of the VRDisplay at the current timestamp, in meters per second per second.

Examples

See VRDisplay.getFrameData() for example code.

Specifications

This interface was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API. It is no longer on track to becoming a standard.

Until all browsers have implemented the new WebXR APIs, it is recommended to rely on frameworks, like A-Frame, Babylon.js, or Three.js, or a polyfill, to develop WebXR applications that will work across all browsers. Read Meta’s Porting from WebVR to WebXR guide for more information.
