Window: vrdisplayconnect event
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects. Development of the WebVR API halted in favor of WebXR. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
Consider using the following features instead: WebXR.
Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.
The vrdisplayconnect event of the WebVR API is fired when a compatible VR display is connected to the computer.
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 It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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.

addEventListener("vrdisplayconnect", (event) => { })
onvrdisplayconnect = (event) => { }
Event type
A VRDisplayEvent. Inherits from Event.
Examples
You can use the vrdisplayconnect event in an addEventListener method:
window.addEventListener("vrdisplayconnect", () => {

reportDisplays();
});
Or use the onvrdisplayconnect event handler property:
window.onvrdisplayconnect = () => {
info.textContent = "Display connected.";
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This event was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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. Read Meta's Porting from WebVR to WebXR guide for more information.
