> I haven't seen where it is available in a scriptable API. They're provided at `window.getViewMatrix()` and `window.getCameraPositionVector()`. See here: https://github.com/Microsoft/HoloJS/blob/master/HoloJS/HoloJ... > It would be better to include an extension to the WebVR API to provide the environment geometry. This is on their radar by the looks of it: https://github.com/Microsoft/HoloJS/issues/4 I've also thought about this.. Could be a bit tricky. The meshes are quite large and getting them over the bridge could be a bottleneck. > Also, I feel pretty strongly that automatically applying the stereo rendering is a mistake. This happens to be a limitation that (I believe) is specific to their ANGLE fork, which may change at some point.
