ReferenceSpace

ReferenceSpace

enum ReferenceSpace : Enum<ReferenceSpace>
Reference spaces determine how positions and orientations are interpreted relative to the user and physical environment. Each space has different behavior when the user recenters their view or moves around in the physical world.
Example: Setting ReferenceSpace to LOCAL_FLOOR to enable recentering:
scene.setReferenceSpace(ReferenceSpace.LOCAL_FLOOR)
