Input & Controllers

Input​

The Input object at xb.core.input provides access to controllers. Interaction callbacks include the resolved target, hit surface, and ray intersection.

For example, to detect which item is selected:

export class ItemSelectionScript extends xb.Script {
  onSelectStart(event) {
    if (event.target && event.intersection) {
      console.log('Item selected:', event.target);
      console.log('Hit point:', event.intersection.point);
    }
  }
}

When a controller begins selecting, XRInput also sets controller.userData.selected to true. This can be used to loop over controllers which are selecting. For example:

export class ItemSelectionScript extends xb.Script {
  update() {
    const controllers = xb.core.input.controllers;
    for (const controller of controllers) {
      if (controller.userData.selected) {
        handleController(controller);
      }
    }
  }
}
