VRDisplay: resetPose() method
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects. Development of the WebVR API halted in favor of WebXR. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
Consider using the following features instead: WebXR.
Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.
The resetPose() method of the VRDisplay interface resets the pose for the VRDisplay, treating its current VRPose.position and VRPose.orientation as the "origin/zero" values.
Note: This method was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.
After resetPost() has been called, future poses returned from VRDisplay.getPose()/VRDisplay.getImmediatePose() will describe positions relative to the VRDisplay's position when resetPose() was last called and will treat the display's yaw when resetPose() was last called as the forward orientation.
The VRDisplay's reported roll and pitch do not change when resetPose() is called as they are relative to gravity. Calling resetPose() may change the VRStageParameters.sittingToStandingTransform matrix.
Syntax
resetPose()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
// Assuming vrDisplay already contains a VRDisplay object,
// and we have a <button> referenced inside btn
btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
vrDisplay.resetPose();
console.log("Current pose set as origin/center");
});
Specifications
This method was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API. It is no longer on track to becoming a standard.
Until all browsers have implemented the new WebXR APIs, it is recommended to rely on frameworks, like A-Frame, Babylon.js, or Three.js, or a polyfill, to develop WebXR applications that will work across all browsers. Read Meta's Porting from WebVR to WebXR guide for more information.
