 ### Presenting automatically when the user interacts with the headset
 
-Many VR devices have some way of detecting when the user has put the headset on or is otherwise trying to use the hardware. For example: an Oculus Rift or Vive have proximity sensors that indicate when the headset is being worn. And a Daydream device uses NFC tags to inform the phone when it's been placed in a headset. This is referred to as the `VRDevice` being "activated", and represents the user showing a clear intent to begin using VR. A well behaved WebVR application should ideally begin presenting automatically in these scenarios.

A well behaved WebVR application should ideally begin presenting automatically in these scenarios.
 
 In order to start presenting when the `VRDevice` is activated pages can request a deferred session. A deferred session is requested using the normal `requestSession` function and given a `deferTill` option to indicate the criteria that must be fulfilled before the session will be created. So if a session is requested with the option `{ deferTill: 'activate' }` the request will remain outstanding until the `VRDevice` is activated, at which point the promise will resolve with the requested session (or reject, if necessary.)

+To detect when the user removes the headset, at which point the page may want to end the session, listen for the `deactivate` event. Note that not all devices capable of detecting activation can reliable detect deactivation, so pages are not guaranteed to receive an associated deactivate event for each activation action.
