This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The isPresenting
read-only property of the VRDisplay
interface returns a Boolean
indicating whether the VRDisplay
is currently having content presented through it.
var isItPresenting = vrDisplayInstance.isPresenting;
A Boolean
; true
means the display is presenting; false
means it isn't.
function onVRExitPresent () { // No sense in exiting presentation if we're not actually presenting. // (This may happen if we get an event like vrdisplaydeactivate when // we weren't presenting.) if (!vrDisplay.isPresenting) return; vrDisplay.exitPresent().then(function () { // Nothing to do because we're handling things in onVRPresentChange. }, function (err) { var errMsg = "exitPresent failed."; if (err && err.message) { errMsg += "<br/>" + err.message } VRSamplesUtil.addError(errMsg, 2000); }); }
