GamepadPose

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The GamepadPose interface of the Gamepad API represents the pose of a WebVR controller at a given timestamp (which includes orientation, position, velocity, and acceleration information.)

This interface is accessible through the Gamepad.pose property.

Properties

GamepadPose.hasOrientation Read only: Returns a boolean indicating whether the gamepad is capable of returning orientation information (true) or not (false).
GamepadPose.hasPosition Read only: Returns a boolean indicating whether the gamepad is capable of returning position information (true) or not (false).
GamepadPose.position Read only: Returns the position of the Gamepad as a 3D vector.
GamepadPose.linearVelocity Read only: Returns the linear velocity of the Gamepad, in meters per second.
GamepadPose.linearAcceleration Read only: Returns the linear acceleration of the Gamepad, in meters per second per second.
GamepadPose.orientation Read only: Returns the orientation of the Gamepad, as a quarternion value.
GamepadPose.angularVelocity Read only: Returns the angular velocity of the Gamepad, in radians per second.
GamepadPose.angularAcceleration Read only: Returns the angular acceleration of the Gamepad, in meters per second per second.

Examples

TBD.
