OpenXRCompositionLayer

Experimental: This class may be changed or removed in future versions.

Inherits: Node3D < Node < Object

Inherited By: OpenXRCompositionLayerCylinder, OpenXRCompositionLayerEquirect, OpenXRCompositionLayerQuad

The parent class of all OpenXR composition layer nodes.

Description

Composition layers allow 2D viewports to be displayed inside of the headset by the XR compositor through special projections that retain their quality. This allows for rendering clear text while keeping the layer at a native resolution.

Note: If the OpenXR runtime doesn't support the given composition layer type, a fallback mesh can be generated with a ViewportTexture, in order to emulate the composition layer.

Properties

bool

alpha_blend

false

SubViewport

layer_viewport

int

sort_order

1

Methods

Vector2

intersects_ray(origin: Vector3, direction: Vector3) const

bool

is_natively_supported() const

Property Descriptions

bool alpha_blend = false

  • void set_alpha_blend(value: bool)

  • bool get_alpha_blend()

Enables the blending the layer using its alpha channel.

Can be combined with Viewport.transparent_bg to give the layer a transparent background.

SubViewport layer_viewport

The SubViewport to render on the composition layer.

int sort_order = 1

  • void set_sort_order(value: int)

  • int get_sort_order()

The sort order for this composition layer. Higher numbers will be shown in front of lower numbers.

Note: This will have no effect if a fallback mesh is being used.

Method Descriptions

Vector2 intersects_ray(origin: Vector3, direction: Vector3) const

Returns UV coordinates where the given ray intersects with the composition layer. origin and direction must be in global space.

Returns Vector2(-1.0, -1.0) if the ray doesn't intersect.

bool is_natively_supported() const

Returns true if the OpenXR runtime natively supports this composition layer type.

Note: This will only return an accurate result after the OpenXR session has started.
