This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
Deprecated
This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Avoid using it and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
The upDegrees read-only property of the VRFieldOfView interface returns the number of degrees upwards that the field of view extends in.
Syntax
var myUpDegrees = VRFieldOfView.upDegrees;
Value
A double.
Examples
var info = document.querySelector('p');
var list = document.querySelector('ul');
var vrDisplay;
if(navigator.getVRDisplays) {
reportFieldOfView();
} else {
info.textContent = 'WebVR API not supported by this browser.'
}
function reportFieldOfView() {
navigator.getVRDisplays().then(function(displays) {
vrDisplay = displays[0];
var lEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('left');
var rEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('right');
// lEye and rEye are VREyeParameters objects
var lFOV = lEye.fieldOfView;
var rFOV = rEye.fieldOfView;
// lFOV and rFOV are VRFieldOfView objects
var listitem1 = document.createElement('li');
var listitem2 = document.createElement('li');
listitem1.innerHTML = '<strong>Left eye parameters</strong>'
+ '<br>Offset: ' + lEye.offset
+ '<br>Render width: ' + lEye.renderWidth
+ '<br>Render height: ' + lEye.renderHeight
+ '<br>Up degrees: ' + lFOV.upDegrees
+ '<br>Right degrees: ' + lFOV.rightDegrees
+ '<br>Down degrees: ' + lFOV.downDegrees
