Hello,

I read the gamepad API description at
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Gamepad

I think the gamepad API should support a VRpose for gamepad controllers
like the ones included with the HTC Vive and the upcoming Oculus Touch
controllers.

I suggest that you add a getPose() method that returns a VRPose object
for controllers that support tracking.

The "orientation" property of the VRPose object could also be useful for
some gamepads that include IMUs for orientation tracking.

Best regards,
-Sven Neuhaus
