VRDisplay.getEyeParameters()

The getEyeParameters() method of the VRDisplay interface returns the VREyeParameters object containing the eye parameters for the specified eye.

Syntax

var myEyeParameters = vrDisplayInstance.getEyeParameters(whichEye);

Parameters

whichEye

A DOMString representing the eye you want to return the eye parameters for. Available values are left and right (defined in the VREye enum).

Return value

A VREyeParameters object, or null if the VR is not able to present content (e.g. VRDisplayCapabilities.canPresent returns false).

Examples

navigator.getVRDisplays().then(function(displays) {
  // If a display is available, use it to present the scene
  vrDisplay = displays[0];
  console.log('Display found');
  // Starting the presentation when the button is clicked: 
  //   It can only be called in response to a user gesture
  btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
    vrDisplay.requestPresent([{ source: canvas }]).then(function() {
      console.log('Presenting to WebVR display');

      // Set the canvas size to the size of the vrDisplay viewport

      var leftEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('left');
      var rightEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('right');

      canvas.width = Math.max(leftEye.renderWidth, rightEye.renderWidth) * 2;
      canvas.height = Math.max(leftEye.renderHeight, rightEye.renderHeight);

      drawVRScene();
    });
  });
});
