This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The activeVRDisplays read-only property of the Navigator interface returns an array containing every VRDisplay object that is currently presenting (VRDisplay.ispresenting is true).
Syntax
var myActiveDisplays = navigator.activeVRDisplays;
Value
An array of VRDisplay objects.
Examples
function showActive() {
var displays = navigator.activeVRDisplays;
for(var i = 0; i < displays.length; i++) {
console.log('Display ' + displays[i].displayId + ' is active.');
}
}
