callback

pc.callbacks.XrError

Optional callback function called once session is started. The callback has one argument Error - it is null if successfully started XR session.

isAvailable(type) 

Check if specific type of session is available

if (app.xr.isAvailable(pc.XRTYPE_VR)) {
    // VR is available
}

Parameters

type

string

session type. Can be one of the following: pc.XRTYPE_INLINE: Inline - always available type of session. It has limited features availability and is rendered into HTML element. pc.XRTYPE_VR: Immersive VR - session that provides exclusive access to VR device with best available tracking features. pc.XRTYPE_AR: Immersive AR - session that provides exclusive access to VR/AR device that is intended to be blended with real-world environment.

Returns

boolean

True if specified session type is available.

start(camera, type, spaceType, [callback]) 

Attempts to start XR session for provided pc.CameraComponent and optionally fires callback when session is created or failed to create.

button.on('click', function () {
    app.xr.start(camera, pc.XRTYPE_VR, pc.XRSPACE_LOCAL);
});

Parameters

camera	pc.CameraComponent	it will be used to render XR session and manipulated based on pose tracking
type	string	session type. Can be one of the following: pc.XRTYPE_INLINE: Inline - always available type of session. It has limited features availability and is rendered into HTML element. pc.XRTYPE_VR: Immersive VR - session that provides exclusive access to VR device with best available tracking features. pc.XRTYPE_AR: Immersive AR - session that provides exclusive access to VR/AR device that is intended to be blended with real-world environment.
spaceType	string	reference space type. Can be one of the following: pc.XRSPACE_VIEWER: Viewer - always supported space with some basic tracking capabilities. pc.XRSPACE_LOCAL: Local - represents a tracking space with a native origin near the viewer at the time of creation. It is meant for seated or basic local XR sessions. pc.XRSPACE_LOCALFLOOR: Local Floor - represents a tracking space with a native origin at the floor in a safe position for the user to stand. The y axis equals 0 at floor level. Floor level value might be estimated by the underlying platform. It is meant for seated or basic local XR sessions. pc.XRSPACE_BOUNDEDFLOOR: Bounded Floor - represents a tracking space with its native origin at the floor, where the user is expected to move within a pre-established boundary. pc.XRSPACE_UNBOUNDED: Unbounded - represents a tracking space where the user is expected to move freely around their environment, potentially long distances from their starting point.
callback	pc.callbacks.XrError	Optional callback function called once session is started. The callback has one argument Error - it is null if successfully started XR session.

available:[type] 

Fired when availability of specific XR type is changed.

app.xr.on('available:' + pc.XRTYPE_VR, function (available) {
    console.log('Immersive VR session is now ' + (available ? 'available' : 'unavailable'));
});

Parameters

available

boolean

True if specified session type is now available.

available 

Fired when availability of specific XR type is changed.

app.xr.on('available', function (type, available) {
    console.log('"' + type + '" XR session is now ' + (available ? 'available' : 'unavailable'));
});

Parameters

type	string	The session type that has changed availability.
available	boolean	True if specified session type is now available.

end 

Fired when XR session is ended

app.xr.on('end', function () {
    // XR session has ended
});

error 

Fired when XR session is failed to start or failed to check for session type support.

app.xr.on('error', function (ex) {

Returns

pc.EventHandler

Self for chaining.

hasEvent(name) 

Test if there are any handlers bound to an event name.

obj.on('test', function () { }); // bind an event to 'test'

callback	pc.callbacks.HandleEvent	Function to be unbound.
scope	object	Scope that was used as the this when the event is fired.

Returns

pc.EventHandler

Self for chaining.

on(name, callback, [scope]) 

});
obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console

Parameters

name	string	Name of the event to bind the callback to.
