Panels in Interaction SDK

Updated: Jun 25, 2025

Overview

Interaction SDK panels add touch limiting support to an entity, and are best used with a Spatial SDK PanelSceneObject. Interaction SDK doesn’t know what is displayed on panels, or about Android Views. It treats each panel as an opaque surface that can receive Select and Scroll pointer events.
Panels that have an Grabbable component will also receive Grab events.
Interaction SDK’s IsdkComponentCreationSystem automatically modifies all Spatial SDK panels in your scene to include Interaction SDK components, so you don’t need to make any manual changes to use Interaction SDK’s panel features.

Manually convert a panel into an Interaction SDK panel

If you disabled the IsdkComponentCreationSystem, wish to customize panel behavior, or want to add touch limiting to your own custom panel component, you can manually convert a panel into an Interaction SDK panel.
  1. Spawn a panel within your scene by completing Spawn and Remove 2D Panels.
  2. Using either Spatial Editor or Android Studio, add the following components to the panel entity. Adding these required components to an entity registers it in the IsdkSystem as a panel.
    • com.meta.spatial.toolkit.Transform
    • com.meta.spatial.isdk.IsdkPanelDimensions
  3. (Optional) Add one or more of the following components to the panel entity to further customize its behavior.
    • com.meta.spatial.toolkit.Visible
    • com.meta.spatial.toolkit.Scale
    • com.meta.spatial.isdk.IsdkCurvedPanel
      • When present, specifies that the panel is shaped as if it was wrapped around the edge of a cylinder, instead of flat.
    • com.meta.spatial.isdk.IsdkGrabbableandcom.meta.spatial.isdk.IsdkPanelGrabHandle
      • Both objects are required.
      • IsdkGrabbable configures grab behavior (one or two handed grab, and so on)
      • IsdkPanelGrabHandle defines the collider shape of the grabbable volume.
