    `Display ${e.display.displayId} presentation has changed. Reason given: ${e.reason}.`,
  );
});

Specifications

This interface was part of the old WebVR API that has been superseded by the WebXR Device API.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