C Specification

The xrGetSceneMeshBuffersMSFT function retrieves the scene mesh vertex buffer and index buffer for the given scene mesh buffer identifier.

Note

Applications may use the scene mesh buffer identifier as a key to cache the vertices and indices of a mesh for reuse within an XrSceneMSFT or across multiple XrSceneMSFT for the same XrSession.

Applications can avoid unnecessarily calling xrGetSceneMeshBuffersMSFT for a scene component if XrSceneComponentMSFT::updateTime is equal to the XrSceneComponentMSFT::updateTime value in the previous XrSceneMSFT. A scene component is uniquely identified by XrUuidMSFT.

This function follows the two-call idiom for filling multiple buffers in a struct.

The xrGetSceneMeshBuffersMSFT function is defined as:

// Provided by XR_MSFT_scene_understanding
XrResult xrGetSceneMeshBuffersMSFT(
    XrSceneMSFT                                 scene,
    const XrSceneMeshBuffersGetInfoMSFT*        getInfo,
    XrSceneMeshBuffersMSFT*                     buffers);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

Description

Applications can request the vertex buffer of the mesh by including XrSceneMeshVertexBufferMSFT in the XrSceneMeshBuffersMSFT::next chain. Runtimes must support requesting a 32-bit index buffer and may support requesting a 16-bit index buffer. Applications can request a 32-bit index buffer by including XrSceneMeshIndicesUint32MSFT in the XrSceneMeshBuffersMSFT::next chain. Applications can request a 16-bit index buffer by including XrSceneMeshIndicesUint16MSFT in the XrSceneMeshBuffersMSFT::next chain. If the runtime for the given scene mesh buffer does not support requesting a 16-bit index buffer then XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE must be returned. The runtime must support reading a 16-bit index buffer for the given scene mesh buffer if XrScenePlaneMSFT:supportsIndicesUint16 or XrSceneMeshMSFT:supportsIndicesUint16 are XR_TRUE for the scene component that contained that scene mesh buffer identifier.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_SCENE_MESH_BUFFER_ID_INVALID_MSFT if none of the scene components in the given XrSceneMSFT contain XrSceneMeshBuffersGetInfoMSFT::meshBufferId. The runtime must return XR_ERROR_SCENE_MESH_BUFFER_ID_INVALID_MSFT if XrSceneMeshBuffersGetInfoMSFT::meshBufferId is zero. The runtime must return XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE if both XrSceneMeshIndicesUint32MSFT and XrSceneMeshIndicesUint16MSFT are included in the XrSceneMeshBuffersMSFT::next chain. The runtime must return XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE if the XrSceneMeshBuffersMSFT::next does not contain at least one of XrSceneMeshVertexBufferMSFT, XrSceneMeshIndicesUint32MSFT or XrSceneMeshIndicesUint16MSFT.

The runtime must return the same vertices and indices for a given scene mesh buffer identifier and XrSession. A runtime may return zero vertices and indices if the underlying mesh data is no longer available.
