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 renderHeight
read-only property of the VREyeParameters
interface describes the recommended render target height of each eye viewport, in pixels.
Syntax
var myRenderHeight = eyeParametersInstance.renderHeight;
Value
A number, representing the height in pixels.
Examples
navigator.getVRDisplays().then(function(displays) { // If a display is available, use it to present the scene vrDisplay = displays[0]; console.log('Display found'); // Starting the presentation when the button is clicked: It can only be called in response to a user gesture btn.addEventListener('click', function() { vrDisplay.requestPresent([{ source: canvas }]).then(function() { console.log('Presenting to WebVR display'); // Set the canvas size to the size of the vrDisplay viewport var leftEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('left'); var rightEye = vrDisplay.getEyeParameters('right'); canvas.width = Math.max(leftEye.renderWidth, rightEye.renderWidth) * 2; canvas.height = Math.max(leftEye.renderHeight, rightEye.renderHeight); drawVRScene(); }); }); });
