VRPose: angularAcceleration property
Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The angularAcceleration read-only property of the VRPose interface returns an array representing the angular acceleration vector of the VRDisplay at the current timestamp, in meters per second per second.
In other words, the current acceleration of the sensor's rotation around the x, y, and z axes.
Value
A Float32Array, or null if the VR sensor is not able to provide angular acceleration information.
Examples
function drawVRScene() {
vrSceneFrame = vrDisplay.requestAnimationFrame(drawVRScene);
vrDisplay.getFrameData(frameData);
const curFramePose = frameData.pose;
const angAcc = curFramePose.angularAcceleration;
const aax = angAcc[0];
const aay = angAcc[1];
const aaz = angAcc[2];
vrDisplay.submitFrame();
}
Specifications
This property was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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].
