The VRFieldOfView interface of the WebVR API represents a field of view defined by 4 different degree values describing the view from a center point.
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');
var lFOV = lEye.fieldOfView;
var rFOV = rEye.fieldOfView;
var listitem1 = document.createElement('li');
var listitem2 = document.createElement('li');
listitem1.innerHTML = '<strong>Left eye parameters</strong>'
+ '<br>Offset: ' + lEye.offset
+ '<br>Render width: ' + lEye.renderWidth
+ '<br>Render height: ' + lEye.renderHeight
+ '<br>Up degrees: ' + lFOV.upDegrees
+ '<br>Right degrees: ' + lFOV.rightDegrees

This interface was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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 [1].
