The read-only xr property
provided by the Navigator interface returns an XRSystem object
which can be used to access the WebXR Device API.
Value
The XRSystem object used to interface with the WebXR Device API in the current
context. This can be used to present augmented and/or virtual reality imagery to the
user.
Examples
Each Window has its own instance of Navigator, which can
be accessed as window.navigator or as
navigator. At the same time, a new
XRSystem instance is also created and attached to
the navigator instance as navigator.xr. If
the xr property exists, you can use it to access the WebXR Device API.
To determine if WebXR is available, you can do something like this:
if ("xr" in window.navigator) {
/* WebXR can be used! */
} else {
/* WebXR isn't available */
}
