<div>{{APIRef("WebVR API")}}{{SeeCompatTable}}</div>

<p>The <strong><code>VRPose</code></strong> interface of the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebVR_API">WebVR API</a> represents the state of a VR sensor at a given timestamp (which includes orientation, position, velocity, and acceleration information.)</p>

<p>This interface is accessible through the {{domxref("VRDisplay.getPose()")}} and {{domxref("VRDisplay.getFrameData()")}} methods. {{domxref("VRDisplay.getPose()")}} is deprecated.</p>

<h2 id="Properties">Properties</h2>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("VRPose.position")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns the position of the {{domxref("VRDisplay")}} at the current {{domxref("VRPose.timestamp")}} as a 3D vector</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("VRPose.linearVelocity")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns the linear velocity of the {{domxref("VRDisplay")}} at the current {{domxref("VRPose.timestamp")}}, in meters per second.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("VRPose.linearAcceleration")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns the linear acceleration of the {{domxref("VRDisplay")}} at the current {{domxref("VRPose.timestamp")}}, in meters per second per second.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("VRPose.orientation")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns the orientation of the sensor at the current {{domxref("VRPose.timestamp")}}, as a quarternion value.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("VRPose.angularVelocity")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns the angular velocity of the {{domxref("VRDisplay")}} at the current {{domxref("VRPose.timestamp")}}, in radians per second.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("VRPose.angularAcceleration")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns the angular acceleration of the {{domxref("VRDisplay")}} at the current {{domxref("VRPose.timestamp")}}, in meters per second per second.</dd>
</dl>

<h3 id="Obsolete_properties">Obsolete properties</h3>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("VRPose.timeStamp")}} {{readonlyInline}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns the current time stamp of the system — a monotonically increasing value useful for determining if position data has been updated, and what order updates have occured in. <strong>This version of <code>timestamp</code> has been removed from the spec — instead, timestamps are now returned when {{domxref("VRDisplay.getFrameData()")}} is called — see {{domxref("VRFrameData.timestamp")}}.</strong></dd>
