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.
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
+ '<br>Left degrees: ' + lFOV.leftDegrees
listitem2.innerHTML = '<strong>Right eye parameters</strong>'
+ '<br>Offset: ' + rEye.offset
+ '<br>Render width: ' + rEye.renderWidth
+ '<br>Render height: ' + rEye.renderHeight
+ '<br>Up degrees: ' + rFOV.upDegrees
+ '<br>Right degrees: ' + rFOV.rightDegrees
+ '<br>Down degrees: ' + rFOV.downDegrees
+ '<br>Left degrees: ' + rFOV.leftDegrees
