Return value
An XRWebGLDepthInformation object.
Exceptions
-
NotSupportedErrorDOMException -
Thrown if
"depth-sensing"is not in the list of enabled features for thisXRSession. -
InvalidStateErrorDOMException -

Examples
Obtaining WebGL depth information
const canvasElement = document.querySelector(".output-canvas"); const gl = canvasElement.getContext("webgl"); await gl.makeXRCompatible(); // Make sure to request a session with depth-sensing enabled const session = navigator.xr.requestSession("immersive-ar", { requiredFeatures: ["depth-sensing"], depthSensing: { usagePreference: ["gpu-optimized"], formatPreference: ["luminance-alpha"] } }); const glBinding = new XRWebGLBinding(session, gl); // ... // Obtain depth information in an active and animated frame function rafCallback(time, frame) { session.requestAnimationFrame(rafCallback); const pose = frame.getViewerPose(referenceSpace); if (pose) { for (const view of pose.views) { const depthInformation = glBinding.getDepthInformation(view); if (depthInformation) { // Do something with the depth information // gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, depthInformation.texture); // ... } } } }
