XrSpatialSnapshotEXT(3) Manual Page

The application can create spatial snapshots for the purpose of discovering spatial entities or for updating its information about known spatial entities. The XrSpatialSnapshotEXT handle represents the immutable data for the discovered or updated spatial entities and a subset of their components as selected by the application. The spatial snapshot represents a coherent view of the entities and their component data. Once a snapshot is created, the snapshot’s data must remain constant while the snapshot is valid.

The application can create any number of snapshots it wants but must be mindful of the memory being allocated for each new snapshot and must destroy the snapshots once it no longer needs them.
