Returns class name of currently used Head Mounted Display. Returns an empty string if the slot is empty.

> [!NOTE]
> If [hmd](../commands/hmd.md) returns "" this doesn't immediately mean unit has no [hmd](../commands/hmd.md), some items like Special Helmet ("H_HelmetO_ViperSP_ghex_F") can have built-in [hmd](../commands/hmd.md) so you might want to check the type of [headgear](../commands/headgear.md) as well

## Syntax

```

**Parameters:**

- `unit`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)

**Returns:** [String](../topics/String.md)
