Description​

Get a handle to the xr scene, camera, renderer, (optional) camera feed texture, and (optional) layerScenes.

Parameters​

None

Returns​

An object: { scene, camera, renderer, cameraTexture, layerScenes }

PropertyTypeDescription
sceneSceneThe three.js scene.
cameraCameraThe three.js main camera.
rendererRendererThe three.js renderer.
cameraTexture [Optional]TextureA three.js texture with the camera feed cropped to the canvas size. Enabled by calling XR8.Threejs.configure({renderCameraTexture: true}).
layerScenes [Optional]Record<String, LayerScene>A map of layer names to three.js layer scenes. Will contain records which are enabled by calling XR8.Threejs.configure({layerScenes: ['sky']}).

The LayerScene in the layerScenes object has the following properties:

PropertyTypeDescription
sceneSceneThe three.js scene for this layer. Content added to this sky will only be visible when in an area of the camera feed which this layer has been detected in. For example in Sky Effects a cube will only show up in the sky. Use XR8.LayersController.configure({layers: {sky: {invertLayerMask: true}}}) to invert this and make the cube only show up when not in the sky.
cameraCameraThe three.js camera for this layer. Will have its position and rotation synced with the main camera.

Example​

const {scene, camera, renderer, cameraTexture} = XR8.Threejs.xrScene()

Example - Sky Scene​

XR8.LayersController.configure({layers: {sky: {}}})
XR8.Threejs.configure({layerScenes: ['sky']})
...
const {layerScenes} = XR8.Threejs.xrScene()
