WebXR component to enable VR, AR and Quicklook on iOS in your scene.
It provides a simple wrapper around the NeedleXRSession API and adds some additional features like creating buttons or enabling default movement behaviour.

Hierarchy (view full)

Properties

arScale: number = 1

Used when usePlacementReticle is enabled. This is the scale of the user in the scene in AR. Larger values make the 3D content appear smaller

autoCenter: boolean = true

When enabled the AR session root center will be automatically adjusted to place the center of the scene

autoPlace: boolean = true

When enabled the scene will be placed automatically when a point in the real world is found

createARButton: boolean = true

When enabled a button will be added to the UI to enter AR

createQRCode: boolean = true

When enabled a QRCode will be created to open the website on a mobile device

createSendToQuestButton: boolean = true

When enabled a send to quest button will be shown if the device does not support VR

createVRButton: boolean = true

When enabled a button will be added to the UI to enter VR

customARPlacementReticle?: AssetReference

When assigned this object will be used as the AR placement reticle

defaultAvatar?: boolean | AssetReference

This avatar representation will be spawned when you enter a webxr session

gameObject: GameObject

the object this component is attached to. Note that this is a threejs Object3D with some additional features

guid: string = "invalid"

the unique identifier for this component

showControllerModels: boolean = true

When enabled controller models will automatically be created and updated when you are using controllers in WebXR

showHandModels: boolean = true

When enabled hand models will automatically be created and updated when you are using hands in WebXR

sourceId?: string

holds the source identifier this object was created with/from (e.g. if it was part of a glTF file the sourceId holds the url to the glTF)

useDefaultControls: boolean = true

When enabled default movement behaviour will be added

useDepthSensing: boolean = false

Preview feature enabling occlusion (when available: https://github.com/cabanier/three.js/commit/b6ee92bcd8f20718c186120b7f19a3b68a1d4e47) Enables the 'depth-sensing' WebXR feature to provide realtime depth occlusion. Only supported on Oculus Quest right now.

usePlacementAdjustment: boolean = true

When enabled you can position, rotate or scale your AR scene with one or two fingers

usePlacementReticle: boolean = true

When enabled the scene must be placed in AR

useQuicklookExport: boolean = false

When enabled a USDZExporter component will be added to the scene (if none is found)

useSpatialGrab: boolean = true

When enabled the spatial grab raycaster will be added or enabled in the scene

Default

true
useXRAnchor: boolean = false

Experimental: When enabled an XRAnchor will be created for the AR scene and the position will be updated to the anchor position every few frames

      generator function to start

    • evt: FrameEvent = FrameEvent.Update

    Example

    onEnable() { this.startCoroutine(this.myCoroutine()); }

    Parameters

    • mode: XRSessionMode
