Web/API/GamepadPose/orientation

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

The orientation read-only property of the GamepadPose interface returns the orientation of the Gamepad, as a quarternion value.

The value is a Float32Array, made up of the following values:

The orientation yaw (rotation around the y axis) is relative to the initial yaw of the sensor when it was first read.

Syntax

var myGamepadOrientation = gamepadPoseInstance.orientation;

A Float32Array, or null if the VR sensor is not able to provide orientation data.

TBD

Note: An orientation of { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0, w: 1 } is considered to be "forward".
