    Class XrPlane

    Represents a detected plane in the real world, providing its position, rotation, polygon points, and semantic label. The plane data may change over time as the system updates its understanding of the environment. Instances of this class are created and managed by the XrPlaneDetection system.

    Accessors

    • get label(): string

      Gets the semantic label of the plane provided by the underlying system. The label describes the type of surface the plane represents, such as "floor", "wall", "ceiling", etc. The list of possible labels can be found in the semantic labels repository.

      Returns string

      if (plane.label === 'floor') {
          console.log('This plane represents the floor.');
      } else if (plane.label === 'wall') {
          console.log('This plane represents a wall.');
      }
    • get orientation(): null | "horizontal" | "vertical"

      Gets the plane's specific orientation. This can be "horizontal" for planes that are parallel to the ground, "vertical" for planes that are perpendicular to the ground, or null if the orientation is different or unknown.

      Returns null | "horizontal" | "vertical"

      if (plane.orientation === 'horizontal') {
          console.log('This plane is horizontal.');
      } else if (plane.orientation === 'vertical') {
          console.log('This plane is vertical.');
      } else {
          console.log('Orientation of this plane is unknown or different.');
      }
    • get points(): DOMPointReadOnly[]

      Gets the array of points that define the polygon of the plane in its local coordinate space. Each point is represented as a DOMPointReadOnly object with x, y, and z properties. These points can be transformed to world coordinates using the plane's position and rotation.

      Returns DOMPointReadOnly[]

      // prepare reusable objects
      const transform = new pc.Mat4();
      const vecA = new pc.Vec3();
      const vecB = new pc.Vec3();

      // update Mat4 to plane position and rotation
      transform.setTRS(plane.getPosition(), plane.getRotation(), pc.Vec3.ONE);

      // draw lines between points
      for (let i = 0; i < plane.points.length; i++) {
          vecA.copy(plane.points[i]);
          vecB.copy(plane.points[(i + 1) % plane.points.length]);

          // transform points to world space
          transform.transformPoint(vecA, vecA);
          transform.transformPoint(vecB, vecB);

          // render line
          app.drawLine(vecA, vecB, pc.Color.WHITE);
      }

    Methods

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

      Parameters

        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', () => {}); // 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: any

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

      Returns EventHandler

      Self for chaining.

      const handler = () => {};
      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: any = ...

        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', (a, b) => {
          console.log(a + b);
      });
      obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console

      const evt = obj.on('test', (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: any = ...

        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', (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_CHANGE: string = 'change'

    Fired when XrPlane attributes such as: orientation and/or points have been changed. Position and rotation can change at any time without triggering a change event.

    plane.on('change', () -> {
        // plane has been changed
    });
    EVENT_REMOVE: string = 'remove'

    Fired when an XrPlane is removed.

    plane.once('remove', () => {
        // plane is not available anymore
    });
