This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The displayId
read-only property of the VRDisplay
interface returns an identifier for this particular VRDisplay
, which is also used as an association point in the Gamepad API (see Gamepad.displayId
).
var myDisplayID = vrDisplayInstance.displayId;
A number representing the ID of the specific VRDisplay
.
function reportDisplays() { navigator.getVRDisplays().then(function(displays) { for(var i = 0; i < displays.length; i++) { var cap = displays[i].capabilities; // cap is a VRDisplayCapabilities object var listItem = document.createElement('li'); listItem.innerHTML = '<strong>Display ' + (i+1) + '</strong>' + '<br>VR Display ID: ' + displays[i].displayId + '<br>VR Display Name: ' + displays[i].displayName + '<br>Display can present content: ' + cap.canPresent + '<br>Display is separate from the computer\'s main display: ' + cap.hasExternalDisplay + '<br>Display can return position info: ' + cap.hasPosition + '<br>Display can return orientation info: ' + cap.hasOrientation + '<br>Display max layers: ' + cap.maxLayers; list.appendChild(listItem); } }); }
