API reference
OVRBoundary Class
OVRBoundary provides access to the boundary system, which ensures user safety and offers an uninterrupted experience whenever the user puts on the headset in a new environment.
You can query the geometry and dimension of the boundary, get and set its visiblity status, and test if a tracking node or 3d point is inside the boundary. Please visit Integrate Boundary to learn more about the boundary system.
Note: With Oculus Integration v31 to v57 and Meta XR Core SDK v59 and up, there are some APIs that are deprecated for the OpenXR backend. We strongly discourage you from using the deprecated APIs as we will no longer upgrade or support them. They will continue to remain available for legacy apps and produce compiler warnings.
Member Enumerations
Enumeration Node
Specifies a tracked node that can be queried through the boundary system.
HandLeft | = OVRPlugin.Node.HandLeft |
HandRight | = OVRPlugin.Node.HandRight |
Head | = OVRPlugin.Node.Head |
Enumeration BoundaryType
Specifies a boundary type surface.
OuterBoundary | = OVRPlugin.BoundaryType.OuterBoundary |
PlayArea | = OVRPlugin.BoundaryType.PlayArea |
Member Functions
bool GetConfigured ( )
Returns true if the boundary system is currently configured with valid boundary data.
OVRBoundary.BoundaryTestResult TestNode
( OVRBoundary.Node node,
OVRBoundary.BoundaryType boundaryType )
Returns the results of testing a tracked node against the specified boundary type.
All points are returned in local tracking space shared by tracked nodes and accessible through OVRCameraRig's trackingSpace anchor.
OVRBoundary.BoundaryTestResult TestPoint
( Vector3 point,
OVRBoundary.BoundaryType boundaryType )
Returns the results of testing a 3d point against the specified boundary type.
The test point is expected in local tracking space. All points are returned in local tracking space shared by tracked nodes and accessible through OVRCameraRig's trackingSpace anchor.
Vector3[] GetGeometry
( OVRBoundary.BoundaryType boundaryType )
Returns an array of 3d points (in clockwise order) that define the specified boundary type.
All points are returned in local tracking space shared by tracked nodes and accessible through OVRCameraRig's trackingSpace anchor.
Vector3 GetDimensions
( OVRBoundary.BoundaryType boundaryType )
Returns a vector that indicates the spatial dimensions of the specified boundary type.
(x = width, y = height, z = depth)
bool GetVisible ( )
Returns true if the boundary system is currently visible.
void SetVisible
( bool value )
Requests that the boundary system visibility be set to the specified value.
The actual visibility can be overridden by the system (i.e., proximity trigger) or by the user (boundary system disabled)
