AudioListener: setPosition() 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 setPosition() method of the AudioListener Interface defines the position of the listener.

The three parameters x, y and z are unitless and describe the listener's position in 3D space according to the right-hand Cartesian coordinate system. PannerNode objects use this position relative to individual audio sources for spatialization.

The default value of the position vector is (0, 0, 0).

Note: As this method is deprecated, use the three positionX, positionY, and positionZ properties instead.
