WebXR opaque textures

When using WebXR layers, the XRWebGLBinding object will return instances of an opaque WebGLTexture for the color and depth/stencil attachments.

WebXR methods that return opaque WebGLTexture objects:

The WebXR opaque texture is identical to the standard WebGLTexture with the following exceptions:

Examples

Creating a texture

js

const gl = canvas.getContext("webgl");
const texture = gl.createTexture();
