Can a Web App access Oculus Proximity Sensor?

139 Views Asked by Scott Witte At 28 July 2019 at 00:58

Is there a way to set a JS eventlistener on the state of the Oculus or Gear VR proximity sensor? My goal is to detect when someone has removed the headset? This will be used to trigger a reset of the web app to its initial state, ready for the next user. For instance, it might call location.reload().

The proximity sensor is not available to web pages as far as I know.

Does your scenario happen in the browser without opening new tabs? You could use the page visibility API:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<script>
document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', (e) => {
  document.body.append(Date() + ' head set is ' + (document.hidden ? 'off' : 'on'));
  document.body.append(document.createElement('br'));
});
</script>
