SpatialCapability.Anchor

Description

Spatial anchors, poses the system keeps as stable as it can relative to the physical world. This allows creating new anchor entities via SpatialEntity.CreateAnchor.

Examples

Anchors that survive an app restart

Give an anchor a name, and FindAnchor gets it back in a later session. Placing it again under the same name replaces the old one.

SpatialEntity anchor;

public void LoadAnchor()
{
	Spatial.Request(SpatialCapability.Anchor);
	anchor = SpatialEntity.FindAnchor("my_anchor");
}

// Call this from a button, a pinch, or wherever the user places content
public void PlaceAnchor(Pose pose)
	=> anchor = SpatialEntity.CreateAnchor(pose, "my_anchor");

public void StepAnchor()
{
	if (anchor.Tracked.IsActive())
		Mesh.Cube.Draw(Material.Default, anchor.Pose.ToMatrix(0.1f));
}
