VREyeParameters.fieldOfView

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 fieldOfView read-only property of the VREyeParameters interface returns a VRFieldOfView object describing the current field of view for the eye, which can vary as the user adjusts their interpupillary distance (IPD).

Syntax

var myFOV = eyeParametersInstance.fieldOfView;

Value

A VRFieldOfView object.

Examples

var info = document.querySelector('p');
var list = document.querySelector('ul');
var vrDisplay;
if(navigator.getVRDisplays) {
    reportFieldOfView();
} else {
  info.textContent = 'WebVR API not supported by this browser.'
}
function reportFieldOfView() {
  navigator.getVRDisplays().then(function(displays) {
    vrDisplay = displays[0];
    var lEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('left');
    var rEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('right');
    // lEye and rEye are VREyeParameters objects
    var lFOV = lEye.fieldOfView;
    var rFOV = rEye.fieldOfView;
    // lFOV and rFOV are VRFieldOfView objects
    var listitem1 = document.createElement('li');
    var listitem2 = document.createElement('li');
    listitem1.innerHTML = '<strong>Left eye parameters</strong>'
                 + '<br>Offset: ' + lEye.offset
