# WebVR Specification

WebVR provides support for accessing virtual reality (VR) devices, including sensors and head-mounted displays on the Web.

This repository hosts the legacy [WebVR 1.1 Specification](https://immersive-web.github.io/webvr/). This specification and it's functionality are in the process of being replaced by the [WebXR Device API](https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr/), but the WebVR API remains available in multiple browsers while that specification is being finalized.

## Specifications

* [WebVR API Specification](https://immersive-web.github.io/webvr/): legacy specification for JavaScript API for accessing VR displays.

* [Gamepad API Specification](https://w3c.github.io/gamepad/), introduces a low-level JS API interface for accessing gamepad devices.

* [Gamepad Extensions API Specification](https://w3c.github.io/gamepad/extensions.html): extends the Gamepad API to enable access to more advanced device capabilities.

## Maintainers

To generate the spec document (`index.html`) from the `index.bs` [Bikeshed](https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed) document:

```sh

make

```

## Tests

For normative changes, a corresponding

[web-platform-tests](https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests) PR is highly appreciated. Typically,

both PRs will be merged at the same time. Note that a test change that contradicts the spec should

not be merged before the corresponding spec change. If testing is not practical, please explain why

and if appropriate [file a web-platform-tests issue](https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/issues/new)

to follow up later. Add the `type:untestable` or `type:missing-coverage` label as appropriate.
