vrdisplayactivate

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 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.

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.
