Limited Availability WebXR

Layers (WebXR)

WebXR layer types, such as XRCylinderLayer, XRCylinderLayer, XREquirectLayer, XRProjectionLayer or XRQuadLayer, are managed by the system compositor, to reduce latency or resampling.

Baseline Status: This feature is currently Limited (not yet Baseline). Latest engine implementation shipped on Apr 10, 2026.
