    const XrReferenceSpaceCreateInfo*           createInfo,

Parameter Descriptions

Description

Creates an XrSpace handle based on a chosen reference space. Application can provide an XrPosef to define the position and orientation of the new space’s origin within the natural reference frame of the reference space.

Multiple XrSpace handles may exist simultaneously, up to some limit imposed by the runtime. The XrSpace handle must be eventually freed via the xrDestroySpace function.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_REFERENCE_SPACE_UNSUPPORTED if the given reference space type is not supported by this session.
