Hi all,

I am trying to put a pause game in place when player removes their Vive headet and the game to resume when they put it back on. I have got the Rift version working fine with the Has Input Focus node, how does/should the Vive be handled? Is their a specific node that does this, I can’t seem to locate one.

Thanks for any suggestions

These two nodes will help. Is Head Mounted Display Enabled is the one you are looking for.

The “Is Head Mounted Display Enabled” node will return true even if the user is not wearing their Vive headset.
