This is an experimental technologyCheck the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Examples

The presenting state of a VRDisplay can be checked using the VRDisplay.isPresenting property.

window.onvrdisplaypresentchange = function() {
  if(vrDisplay.isPresenting) {

  } else {
    info.textContent = 'Display has stopped presenting.';
  }
};
