The source property of the VRLayerInit interface (dictionary) defines the canvas whose contents will be presented by the VRDisplay.

Note: This property was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.

Syntax

var myVRLayerInit = { };
myVRLayerInit.source = myCanvas;

Value

An HTMLCanvasElement or OffscreenCanvas object.

Examples

See VRLayerInit for example code.

Specifications

This property was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API. It is no longer on track to becoming a standard.

Until all browsers have implemented the new WebXR APIs, it is recommended to rely on frameworks, like A-Frame, Babylon.js, or Three.js, or a polyfill, to develop WebXR applications that will work across all browsers [1].
