VRDisplay: displayName property

View on MDN ↗

The displayName read-only property of the VRDisplay interface returns a human-readable name to identify the VRDisplay.

[!NOTE] This property was part of the old WebVR API. It has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.

This will generally be something like “Oculus VR HMD (HMD)” or “Oculus VR HMD (Sensor)”.

Value

A string containing the human-readable name of the specific VR display.

Examples

See VRDisplayCapabilities for example code.

Specifications

This property was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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 APIs, 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.
