booleanavailable 

True if estimated light information is available.

if (app.xr.lightEstimation.available) {
    entity.light.intensity = app.xr.lightEstimation.intensity;
}

Color, nullcolor 

Color of what is estimated to be the most prominent directional light. Or null if data is not available.

number, nullintensity 

Intensity of what is estimated to be the most prominent directional light. Or null if data is not available.

Quat, nullrotation 

Rotation of what is estimated to be the most prominent directional light. Or null if data is not available.

booleansupported 

True if Light Estimation is supported. This information is available only during an active AR session.

end() 

End estimation of illumination data.

start() 

Start estimation of illumination data. Availability of such data will come later and an available event will be fired. If it failed to start estimation, an error event will be fired.

app.xr.on('start', function () {
    if (app.xr.lightEstimation.supported) {
        app.xr.lightEstimation.start();
    }
});

available 

Fired when light estimation data becomes available.

error 

Fired when light estimation has failed to start.

app.xr.lightEstimation.on('error', function (ex) {
    // has failed to start
});

Parameters

error

Error

Error object related to failure of light estimation start.

fire(name, [arg1], [arg2], [arg3], [arg4], [arg5], [arg6], [arg7], [arg8]) 

Fire an event, all additional arguments are passed on to the event listener.

obj.fire('test', 'This is the message');

Parameters

name	string	Name of event to fire.
arg1	*	First argument that is passed to the event handler.
arg2	*	Second argument that is passed to the event handler.
arg3	*	Third argument that is passed to the event handler.
arg4	*	Fourth argument that is passed to the event handler.
arg5	*	Fifth argument that is passed to the event handler.
arg6	*	Sixth argument that is passed to the event handler.
arg7	*	Seventh argument that is passed to the event handler.
arg8	*	Eighth argument that is passed to the event handler.

Returns

EventHandler

Self for chaining.

hasEvent(name) 

Test if there are any handlers bound to an event name.

obj.on('test', function () { }); // bind an event to 'test'
obj.hasEvent('test'); // returns true
obj.hasEvent('hello'); // returns false

Parameters

name

string

The name of the event to test.

Returns

boolean

True if the object has handlers bound to the specified event name.

off([name], [callback], [scope]) 

Detach an event handler from an event. If callback is not provided then all callbacks are unbound from the event, if scope is not provided then all events with the callback will be unbound.

var handler = function () {
};
obj.on('test', handler);

obj.off(); // Removes all events
obj.off('test'); // Removes all events called 'test'
obj.off('test', handler); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test'
obj.off('test', handler, this); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test' with scope this

Parameters

name	string	Name of the event to unbind.
callback	HandleEventCallback	Function to be unbound.
scope	object	Scope that was used as the this when the event is fired.

Returns

EventHandler

Self for chaining.

on(name, callback, [scope]) 

Attach an event handler to an event.

obj.on('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
});
obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console

Parameters

name	string	Name of the event to bind the callback to.
callback	HandleEventCallback	Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.
scope	object	Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

Returns

EventHandler

Self for chaining.

once(name, callback, [scope]) 

Attach an event handler to an event. This handler will be removed after being fired once.

obj.once('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
});
obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console
obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // not going to get handled

Parameters

name	string	Name of the event to bind the callback to.
callback	HandleEventCallback	Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.
scope	object	Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

Returns

EventHandler

Self for chaining.
