Window.onvrdisplayactivate

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The onvrdisplayactivate property of the Window interface represents an event handler that will run when a display is able to be presented to (when the vrdisplayactivate event fires), for example if an HMD has been moved to bring it out of standby, or woken up by being put on.

Note: This event handler was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.

The event object is of type VRDisplayEvent.

Syntax

window.onvrdisplayactivate = function() { ... };

Examples

window.onvrdisplayactivate = function() {
  info.textContent = 'Display activated.';
  reportDisplays();
};

Specifications

This event handler was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API. It is no longer on track to becoming a standard.

Until all browsers have implemented the new WebXR Device API, it is recommended to rely on frameworks, like A-Frame, Babylon.js, or Three.js, or a polyfill, to develop WebXR applications that will work across all browsers [1].
