Plane Detection provides the ability to detect real world surfaces based on estimations of the underlying AR system.

// start session with plane detection enabled
app.xr.start(camera, pc.XRTYPE_VR, pc.XRSPACE_LOCALFLOOR, {
planeDetection: true
});
app.xr.planeDetection.on('add', (plane) => {
// new plane been added
});

Accessors

Methods

  • Fire an event, all additional arguments are passed on to the event listener.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      Name of event to fire.

    • Optionalarg1: any

      First argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg2: any

      Second argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg3: any

      Third argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg4: any

      Fourth argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg5: any

      Fifth argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg6: any

      Sixth argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg7: any

      Seventh argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg8: any

      Eighth argument that is passed to the event handler.

    Returns EventHandler

    Self for chaining.

    obj.fire('test', 'This is the message');
    
  • Test if there are any handlers bound to an event name.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the event to test.

    Returns boolean

    True if the object has handlers bound to the specified event name.

    obj.on('test', function () { }); // bind an event to 'test'
    obj.hasEvent('test'); // returns true
    obj.hasEvent('hello'); // returns false
  • Detach an event handler from an event. If callback is not provided then all callbacks are unbound from the event, if scope is not provided then all events with the callback will be unbound.

    Parameters

    • Optionalname: string

      Name of the event to unbind.

    • Optionalcallback: HandleEventCallback

      Function to be unbound.

    • Optionalscope: object

      Scope that was used as the this when the event is fired.

    Returns EventHandler

    Self for chaining.

    const handler = function () {
    };
    obj.on('test', handler);

    obj.off(); // Removes all events
    obj.off('test'); // Removes all events called 'test'
    obj.off('test', handler); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test'
    obj.off('test', handler, this); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test' with scope this
  • Attach an event handler to an event.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      Name of the event to bind the callback to.

    • callback: HandleEventCallback

      Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.

    • Optionalscope: object = ...

      Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

    Returns EventHandle

    Can be used for removing event in the future.

    obj.on('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
    });
    obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console
    const evt = obj.on('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
    });
    // some time later
    evt.off();
  • Attach an event handler to an event. This handler will be removed after being fired once.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      Name of the event to bind the callback to.

    • callback: HandleEventCallback

      Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.

    • Optionalscope: object = ...

      Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

    Returns EventHandle

    • can be used for removing event in the future.
    obj.once('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
    });
    obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console
    obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // not going to get handled

Events

EVENT_ADD: string = 'add'

Fired when new XrPlane is added to the list. The handler is passed the XrPlane instance that has been added.

app.xr.planeDetection.on('add', (plane) => {
// new plane is added
});
EVENT_AVAILABLE: string = 'available'

Fired when plane detection becomes available.

app.xr.planeDetection.on('available', () => {
console.log('Plane detection is available');
});
EVENT_REMOVE: string = 'remove'

Fired when a XrPlane is removed from the list. The handler is passed the XrPlane instance that has been removed.

app.xr.planeDetection.on('remove', (plane) => {
// new plane is removed
});
EVENT_UNAVAILABLE: string = 'unavailable'

Fired when plane detection becomes unavailable.

app.xr.planeDetection.on('unavailable', () => {
console.log('Plane detection is unavailable');
});
