Allow predefined HTML attribute in <video> tag to define video as 2D / 3D and 180VR /360VR

[I.kishanth]

I have a small website with VR Videos that are exclusively for Oculus devices. The video-clips are emmbedded with video-Tag.

HTML Code:

<video controls>
  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Everytime the user has to select manually the following parameter. 3D-Side by Side, 180°VR or 360°VR.

It would be awesome, if Meta can introduce a custom html attribite to video tag to preselect.

Eg. HTML Code:

<video controls>
  <source vrangle="180" vrmode="3DSide"  src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Or with better naming 🙂

Thank you.

I too am interested in how to set the VR Format on the HTML Video tag,

https://delight-vr.com/documentation/dl8-video/ is a paid solution with a clearly defined format="<string>"

How does this get missed by the team developing the Oculus Web Browser experience?
