Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The vrdisplaydisconnect event of the WebVR API is fired when a compatible VR display is disconnected from the computer.

This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.

Examples

You can use the vrdisplaydisconnect event in an addEventListener method:

Note: This event was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.

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

Or use the onvrdisplaydisconnect event handler property:

window.onvrdisplaydisconnect = function() {
  info.textContent = 'Display disconnected.';
  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This event was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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].
