The vrdisplaypresentchange
event of the WebVR API is fired when the presenting state of a VR display changes — i.e. goes from presenting to not presenting, or vice versa.
Note: This event was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.
This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.

, or set an event handler property.

Examples
You can use the vrdisplaypresentchange
event in an addEventListener
method:
window.addEventListener('vrdisplaypresentchange', function() {
if(vrDisplay.isPresenting) {
info.textContent = 'Display has started presenting.';
} else {
info.textContent = 'Display has stopped presenting.';
}
reportDisplays();
});
Or use the onvrdisplaypresentchange
event handler property:
window.onvrdisplaypresentchange = function() {
if(vrDisplay.isPresenting) {
info.textContent = 'Display has started presenting.';
} else {
info.textContent = 'Display has stopped presenting.';
}
reportDisplays();
};
Specifications
This event was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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].
