The VRFieldOfView()
constructor creates a new VRFieldOFView
object.
Syntax
There are two forms of this constructor, which take their information in slightly different ways. The first one accepts four separate arguments — the VRFieldOfViewReadOnly.upDegrees
, VRFieldOfViewReadOnly.rightDegrees
, VRFieldOfViewReadOnly.downDegrees
, and VRFieldOfViewReadOnly.leftDegrees
values you want the field of view to have
var myFOV = new VRFieldOfView(upDegrees, rightDegrees, downDegrees, leftDegrees);
The second one takes a VRFieldOfViewInit
object as a single argument, which is just a dictionary containing the four degree values mentioned above:
var init = {upDegrees:up,rightDegrees:right,downDegrees:down,leftDegrees:left} var myFOV = new VRFieldOfView(init);
Parameters
-
Four argument version:
- upDegrees
- The number of degrees upwards that the field of view will extend in.
- rightDegrees
- The number of degrees to the right that the field of view will extend in.
- downDegrees
- The number of degrees downwards that the field of view will extend in.
- leftDegrees
- The number of degrees to the left that the field of view will extend in.
-
One argument version:
- init
- A dictionary object containing the four degree values specified above.
Examples
The following simple example shows a function that can be used to set a custom field of view with four specified degree values for up, right, down and left. The VRFieldOfView()
constructor is used to create a VRFieldOfView
object from the supplied values, which is then fed into the HMDVRDevice.setFieldOfView
method.
function setCustomFOV(up,right,down,left) { var testFOV = new VRFieldOfView(up,right,down,left); gHMD.setFieldOfView(testFOV,testFOV,0.01,10000.0); var lEye = gHMD.getEyeParameters('left'); var rEye = gHMD.getEyeParameters('right'); console.log(lEye.currentFieldOfView); console.log(rEye.currentFieldOfView); }
Note: When testing, setting a weird/tiny field of view can really mess up your view. It is a good idea to grab the current field of view first (using VREyeParameters.currentFieldOfView
) before making any drastic changes, so you can reset it afterwards if needed.
