WebVR

The WebVR API had been developed under WebVR Community Group, but was marked as deprecated and fully replaced by the WebXR Device API and its modules which have wider support, more features, better performance, and supports both VR and XR (collectively called as XR). The WebXR Device API and its modules are under development by the W3C Immersive Web Working Group (WG) initiated at Sep 2018, was initially shipped in browsers in 2019 and are now available on many XR devices. This document is preserved out of historial interest, but the APIs described will not be implemented in any major browser. No further development will be held on WebVR specifications. If you have any new idea of incubation around XR, please check the proposals repository of the W3C Immersive Web Community Group (CG) for further expanding XR in the Web and file as issue on any new idea there. WebVR provides support for accessing virtual reality (VR) devices, including sensors and head-mounted displays on the Web. This repository hosts the legacy WebVR 1.1 Specification. This specification and it's functionality are in the process of being replaced by the WebXR Device API, but the WebVR API remains available in multiple browsers while that specification is being finalized. WebVR API Specification: legacy specification for JavaScript API for accessing VR displays. Gamepad API Specification, introduces a low-level JS API interface for accessing gamepad devices. Gamepad Extensions API Specification: extends the Gamepad API to enable access to more advanced device capabilities. To generate the spec document ( index.html ) from the index.bs Bikeshed document: For normative changes, a corresponding web-platform-tests PR is highly appreciated. Typically, both PRs will be merged at the same time. Note that a test change that contradicts the spec should not be merged before the corresponding spec change. If testing is not practical, please explain why and if appropriate file a web-platform-tests issue to follow up later. Add the type:untestable or type:missing-coverage label as appropriate.
