Spatial Anchors OpenXR Reference

This document describes the Spatial Anchors OpenXR API reference.

XR_FB_spatial_entity

Extension Type: Instance Extension

Extension and Version Dependencies: Requires OpenXR 1.0.

Overview

This extension enables applications to place Spatial Anchors that specify world-locked frames of reference. The extension also lets your applications persist real-world content locations over time and contains definitions for the Entity-Component System. All Meta spatial entity extensions are dependent on this extension.

You track a Spatial Anchor by its anchor handle, which generates all the data for the Spatial Anchor. We use OpenXR XrSpace⁠ handles to give applications access to Spatial Anchors. In other words, any operation which involves Spatial Anchors uses XrSpace⁠ handles to identify the affected Spatial Anchors.

This extension allows:

An application to create a Spatial Anchor.

An application to enumerate supported components.

An application to enable or disable a component.

An application to get the status of a component.

New Enum Constants

XrStructureType enumeration is extended with:

XR_TYPE_SPACE_COMPONENT_STATUS_SET_INFO_FB

XR_TYPE_SPACE_COMPONENT_STATUS_FB

XR_TYPE_EVENT_DATA_SPACE__SET_STATUS_COMPLETE_FB

XR_TYPE_EVENT_DATA_SPATIAL_ANCHOR_CREATE_COMPLETE_FB

XR_TYPE_SPATIAL_ANCHOR_CREATE_INFO_FB

XR_TYPE_SYSTEM_SPATIAL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_FB

XrResult enumeration is extended with:

XR_ERROR_SPACE_COMPONENT_NOT_SUPPORTED_FB

XR_ERROR_SPACE_COMPONENT_NOT_ENABLED_FB

XR_ERROR_SPACE_COMPONENT_STATUS_PENDING_FB

XR_ERROR_SPACE_COMPONENT_STATUS_ALREADY_SET_FB

New Enums

New Enums specify the component interfaces attached to the Spatial Anchor entity.

typedef enum XrSpaceComponentTypeFB {
    XR_SPACE_COMPONENT_TYPE_LOCATABLE_FB = 0,
    XR_SPACE_COMPONENT_TYPE_STORABLE_FB = 1,
    XR_SPACE_COMPONENT_TYPE_MAX_ENUM_FB = 0x7FFFFFFF
} XrSpaceComponentTypeFB;

Enumerant Descriptions

XR_SPACE_COMPONENT_TYPE_LOCATABLE_FB: Enables tracking the 6 DOF pose of the Spatial Anchor with xrLocateSpace.

XR_SPACE_COMPONENT_TYPE_STORABLE_FB: Enables persistence operations: save and erase.

New Structures

XR_FB_spatial_entity contains the following new structures in this release.

XrSystemSpacePropertiesFB

The XrSystemSpacePropertiesFB structure is defined as:

typedef struct XrSystemSpacePropertiesFB {
    XrStructureType             type;
    const void*                 next;
    XrBool32                    supportsSpace;
} XrSystemSpacePropertiesFB;

XrSystemSpatialEntityPropertiesFB describes a Spatial Entity system property (see XrSystemProperties⁠). When the XR_FB_spatial_entity extension is enabled, calling the xrGetSystemProperties⁠ will result in this struct being present in the next chain of the XrSystemProperties struct retrieved.

Member Descriptions

type: The XrStructureType⁠ of this structure.

next: A pointer to the next structure in a structure chain.

supportsSpatialEntity: A boolean value that lets you know if the system supports spatial entities.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

You must enable the XR_FB_spatial_entity extension prior to using XrSystemSpatialEntityPropertiesFB.

type: Must be XR_TYPE_SYSTEM_SPATIAL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_FB.

next: Must be NULL or a valid pointer to the next structure in a structure chain.

supportsSpatialEntity: Must be a valid XrBool32⁠ value.

Entity Component System

The entity/component system architectural pattern provides specialization by way of composition instead of inheritance. It thus avoids the type explosion that can occur when multiple entity types share some characteristics but differ in others.

Components represent the interfaces that are available to the anchor. Each anchor has a specific set of components it supports, and enabling these components allows access to the associated operations. Component support and state are unique to each anchor.

Anchors may support any subset of the components given in the XrComponentTypeFB enum. Operations supported on components are:

xrEnumerateSpaceSupportedComponentsFB.

xrSetSpaceComponentStatusFB.

xrGetSpaceComponentStatusFB.

xrEnumerateSpaceSupportedComponentsFB

The xrEnumerateSpaceSupportedComponentsFB function is defined as:

XrResult xrEnumerateSpaceSupportedComponentsFB(
    XrSpace               space,
    uint32_t              componentTypesCapacityInput,
    uint32_t*             componentTypesCountOutput,
    XrComponentTypeFB*    componentTypes);

Parameter Descriptions

space: The XrSpace handle to the anchor.

componentTypesCapacityInput: The maximum number of component types expected by the caller. The caller uses this maximum value to ensure the array returned through the componentTypes out-parameter does not exceed the bounds of the array allocated by the caller.

componentTypesCountOutput: An output parameter showing the number of enumerated component types.

componentTypes: An output parameter providing an array of the component types supported by the specified anchor.

The xrEnumerateSpaceSupportedComponentsFB function discovers any component interfaces that an entity supports. The list of supported components does not change as long as the entity exists. The list of component interfaces available for an entity may depend on which extensions are enabled. Component interfaces are not enumerated unless the corresponding extension that defines them is also enabled.
