VRDisplay.resetPose

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

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.

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

vrDisplayInstance.resetPose();

Parameters

None.

Return value

Void.

Examples

// Assuming vrDisplay already contains a VRDisplay object,
// and we have a <button> referenced inside btn
btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
  vrDisplay.resetPose();
  console.log('Current pose set as origin/center');
});
