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 orientation read-only property of the GamepadPose interface returns the orientation of the Gamepad, as a quarternion value.
The value is a Float32Array, made up of the following values:
- pitch — rotation around the X axis.
- yaw — rotation around the Y axis.
- roll — rotation around the Z axis.
- w — the fourth dimension (usually 1).
The orientation yaw (rotation around the y axis) is relative to the initial yaw of the sensor when it was first read.
Syntax
var myGamepadOrientation = gamepadPoseInstance.orientation;
Value
A Float32Array, or null if the VR sensor is not able to provide orientation data.
Examples
TBD
Note: An orientation of { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0, w: 1 } is considered to be "forward".
