ARRaycastManagerExtensions
Extensions to AR Foundation's ARRaycastManager class.
Summary
Public static functions
RaycastStreetscapeGeometry
bool RaycastStreetscapeGeometry(
this ARRaycastManager raycastManager,
Vector2 screenPoint,
ref List< XRRaycastHit > raycastResults
)
Performs a raycast against ARStreetscapeGeometrys being tracked by ARCore.
Outputs all intersections along the ray sorted in ascending order of distance. Accepts Unity's native 2D screen coordinate (0, 0) starting from the bottom left.
| Details |
|---|
| Parameters |
raycastManager
|
The ARRaycastManager this method extends.
|
screenPoint
|
2D screen touch position in Unity screen coordinates.
|
raycastResults
|
A list of XRRaycastHit if the raycast is successful.
|
|
|
Returns
|
true if the raycast had a hit, otherwise false.
|
RaycastStreetscapeGeometry
bool RaycastStreetscapeGeometry(
this ARRaycastManager raycastManager,
Ray ray,
ref List< XRRaycastHit > raycastResults
)
Performs a raycast against ARStreetscapeGeometrys being tracked by ARCore.
Outputs all intersections along the ray sorted in ascending order of distance. Accepts Unity's native 3D coordinates.
| Details |
|---|
| Parameters |
raycastManager
|
The ARRaycastManager this methods extends.
|
ray
|
Ray for the origin and direction of the raycast.
|
raycastResults
|
A list of XRRaycastHit if the raycast is successful.
|
|
|
Returns
|
true if the raycast had a hit, otherwise false.
