VRDisplay.stageParameters

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 stageParameters read-only property of the VRDisplay interface returns a VRStageParameters object containing room-scale parameters, if the VRDisplay is capable of supporting room-scale experiences.

Syntax

var myStageParameters = vrDisplayInstance.stageParameters;

Value

VRStageParameters object containing the VRDisplay's room-scale parameters, or null if the VRDisplay is not capable of supporting room-scale experiences.

Examples

var info = document.querySelector('p');
var vrDisplay;
navigator.getVRDisplays().then(function(displays) {
  vrDisplay = displays[0];
  var stageParams = vrDisplay.stageParameters;
  // stageParams is a VRStageParameters object
  if(stageParams === null) {
    info.textContent = 'Your VR Hardware does not support room-scale experiences.'
  } else {
    info.innerHTML = '<strong>Display stage parameters</strong>'
                 + '<br>Sitting to standing transform: ' + stageParams.sittingToStandingTransform
                 + '<br>Play area width (m): ' + stageParams.sizeX
                 + '<br>Play area depth (m): ' + stageParams.sizeY
  }
});
