GamepadPose

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

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

The GamepadPose interface of the Gamepad API represents the pose of a WebVR controller at a given timestamp (which includes orientation, position, velocity, and acceleration information).

This interface is accessible through the Gamepad.pose property.
