Hello,

When View, Display mode is set to OpenXR, these should work.
print(vrHMDService.getActiveOpenXRRuntimeName())
print(vrHMDService.getActiveOpenXRSystemName())

thanks for the reply. 

how to get the view>display>openXR? I only can see openVR in the list.

also it shows 'vrKernelServices.vrHMDService' object has no attribute 'getActiveOpenXRRuntimeName' or '

getActiveOpenXRSystemName()' 

is there any plugin or additional module need to be installed to get them work?

Ok, for an XR-3, there is an 'OpenXR' toggle in the System tab of the Varjo Base software that needs to be enabled.

For Vive, it may depend on which model it is.

Hi, note then OpenXR in VRED is introduced in 2023.4 version. So you need at least that version.
