VRDisplay.depthNear

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

The depthNear property of the VRDisplay interface gets and sets the z-depth defining the near plane of the eye view frustum, i.e. the nearest viewable boundary of the scene.

Generally you should leave the value as is, but you might want to increase it if you are trying to improve performance on slower computers, and/or your UI makes sense with the near boundary made further away.

Syntax

var mydepthNear = vrDisplayInstance.depthNear;

vrDisplayInstance.depthNear = 1.0;

Value

A double, representing the z-depth in meters; its initial value is 0.01.

Examples

var vrDisplay;

navigator.getVRDisplays().then(function(displays) {
  vrDisplay = displays[0];
  vrDisplay.depthNear = 1.0;
  vrDisplay.depthFar = 7500.0;
});
