DOMPoint

DOMPoint()

Creates and returns a new DOMPoint object given the values of zero or more of its coordinate components and optionally the w perspective value. You can also use an existing DOMPoint or DOMPointReadOnly or a DOMPointInit dictionary to create a new point by calling the DOMPoint.fromPoint() static method.

DOMPoint inherits methods from its parent, DOMPointReadOnly.

fromPoint()

Creates a new mutable DOMPoint object given an existing point or a DOMPointInit dictionary which provides the values for its properties.

DOMPoint inherits properties from its parent, DOMPointReadOnly.

DOMPoint.x

The x coordinate of the DOMPoint.

DOMPoint.y

The y coordinate of the DOMPoint.

DOMPoint.z

The z coordinate of the DOMPoint.

DOMPoint.w

The perspective value of the DOMPoint.

In the WebVR API, DOMPoint values are used to represent points in the coordinate space that the user's head mounted display exists in. In the following snippet, the position of the VR HMD can be retrieved by first grabbing a reference to the position sensor's current state using PositionSensorVRDevice.getState(), then accessing the resulting VRPositionState's position property, which returns a DOMPoint. Note below the usage of position.x, position.y, and position.z.

function setView() {
  var posState = gPositionSensor.getState();

  if (posState.hasPosition) {
    posPara.textContent =
      "Position: x" +
      roundToTwo(posState.position.x) +
      " y" +
      roundToTwo(posState.position.y) +
      " z" +
      roundToTwo(posState.position.z);
    xPos = -posState.position.x * WIDTH * 2;
    yPos = posState.position.y * HEIGHT * 2;

    if (-posState.position.z > 0.01) {
      zPos = -posState.position.z;
    } else {
      zPos = 0.01;
    }
  }
