AudioListener: setOrientation() method
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects.
The setPosition() and setOrientation() methods are equivalent to using an AudioListener instances's positionX, positionY, positionZ, forwardX, forwardY, forwardZ, upX, upY, and upZ properties.
This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
Consider using the following features instead: AudioListener.
The setOrientation() method of the AudioListener interface defines the orientation of the listener.
It consists of two direction vectors:
- The front vector, defined by the three unitless parameters
x,yandz, describes the direction of the face of the listener, that is the direction the nose of the person is pointing towards. The front vector's default value is(0, 0, -1). - The up vector, defined by three unitless parameters
xUp,yUpandzUp, describes the direction of the top of the listener's head. The up vector's default value is(0, 1, 0).
The two vectors must be separated by an angle of 90° — in linear analysis terms, they must be perpendicular to each other.
Syntax
setOrientation(x, y, z, xUp, yUp, zUp)
Parameters
x-
The x value of the front vector of the listener.
y-
The y value of the front vector of the listener.
z-
The z value of the front vector of the listener.
xUp-
The x value of the up vector of the listener.
yUp-
The y value of the up vector of the listener.
zUp-
The z value of the up vector of the listener.
Return value
None (undefined).
