Description

The WorldAnchor component allows a GameObject's position to be locked in physical space.

For example, a cube arranged on top of a physical desk with a WorldAnchor applied will remain fixed even as an observer walks around the room. This overrides all manipulation of the GameObject's position and orientation. To move the GameObject, first remove the WorldAnchor and manipulate the Transform normally.

While it is generally recommended to use Destroy instead of DestroyImmediate, it's best to call DestroyImmediate on WorldAnchor objects. Doing so will let you manipulate the Transform of the GameObject including adding a new WorldAnchor.

Variables

isLocatedReturns true if this WorldAnchor is located (read only). A return of false typically indicates a loss of tracking.

Public Functions

GetNativeSpatialAnchorPtrRetrieve a native pointer to the Windows.Perception.Spatial.SpatialAnchor COM object. This function calls IUnknown::AddRef on the pointer before returning it. The pointer must be released by calling IUnknown::Release.
SetNativeSpatialAnchorPtrAssigns the Windows.Perception.Spatial.SpatialAnchor COM pointer maintained by this WorldAnchor.

Events

OnTrackingChangedOnTrackingChanged notifies listeners when this object's tracking state changes.

Delegates
