vrdisplayactivate

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

The vrdisplayactivate event of the WebVR API is fired when a VR display is able to be presented to, for example if an HMD has been moved to bring it out of standby, or woken up by being put on.

Bubbles No
Cancelable No
Target objects Window
Interface VRDisplayEvent

Examples

window.addEventListener('vrdisplayactivate', function() {
  info.textContent = 'Display activated.';
  reportDisplays();
});

Inheritance

The vrdisplayactivate event implements the VRDisplayEvent interface, which inherits from Event — its event object therefore has available the properties and methods defined on both these interfaces.
