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
