Marker-Based Location Sharing APIs (AIO)
These APIs can only be used with compatible All-in-One (AIO) VR applications developed using the VIVE Wave VR SDK. For APIs designed for use with PC VR applications, see Marker-Based Location Sharing APIs (PC VR).
Configure marker ID and dictionary
This API configures the marker ID and dictionary for one or two ArUco markers. When configuring two markers, the API defines both the primary and secondary markers so location sharing starts only after users scan the second marker.
The marker ID is defined using integers, and the marker size is defined in meters using a decimal. For example, the size value for a marker with an area of 280 millimeters squared would be 0.280.
One ArUco marker
string polling_value;
string key = "PLAYER00InitMA";
key += "{\"marker1\": {\"id\": 66,\"behavior\": 3,\"size\": 0.280}}";
uint RETURN_SIZE = 256;
IntPtr value = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(new IntPtr(RETURN_SIZE));
Interop.WVR_GetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key), value, RETURN_SIZE);
polling_value = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(value);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(value);
if(string.Compare(polling_value, "InitErr") == 0) // initialization failed, should check config string
{
// write your error handling code here
}

Two ArUco markers
string polling_value;
string key = "PLAYER00InitMA";
key += "{\"marker1\": {\"id\": 66,\"behavior\": 3,\"size\": 0.280,\"isMainMarker\": true,\"pairMarkerID\": 88},\"marker2\": {\"id\": 88,\"behavior\": 3,\"size\": 0.280,\"isMainMarker\": false,\"pairMarkerID\": 66}}";
uint RETURN_SIZE = 256;
IntPtr value = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(new IntPtr(RETURN_SIZE));
Interop.WVR_GetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key), value, RETURN_SIZE);
polling_value = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(value);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(value);
if(string.Compare(polling_value, "InitErr") == 0) // initialization failed, should check config string
{
// write your error handling code here

Scan marker
This API prompts the headset's tracking engine to detect an ArUco marker and process the data.
string key = "ClearRecenterXform";
Interop.WVR_SetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key));
Interop.WVR_SetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_Controller_Right, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key));
Interop.WVR_SetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_Controller_Left, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key));
key = "PLAYER00StartScan";
uint RETURN_SIZE = 256;
IntPtr value = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(new IntPtr(RETURN_SIZE));
Interop.WVR_GetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key), value, RETURN_SIZE);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(value);

Stop scan and reset position
This API stops the scanning process and resets the headset position to the default parameters.
string key = "PLAYER00StopScan";
uint RETURN_SIZE = 256;
IntPtr value = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(new IntPtr(RETURN_SIZE));
Interop.WVR_GetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key), value, RETURN_SIZE);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(value);
|
Check scan status (optional)
This API checks the status of the latest scan at regular intervals.
string key = "PLAYER00CheckMA";
uint RETURN_SIZE = 256;
IntPtr value = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(new IntPtr(RETURN_SIZE));
Interop.WVR_GetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobaltrToStringAnsi(value);
Ansi(key), value, RETURN_SIZE);
string polling_value = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(value);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(value);
if (string.Compare(polling_value, "CTdone") == 0) // 2 markers scanned
{
//handling with all marker scanned
}
else if (string.Compare(polling_value, "CTpass") == 0) // 1 marker scanned
{
//handling with the 1st marker scanned if you are using 2 markers. Remove it when using 1 marker.
}

Resume location sharing
When you exit an application during play, location sharing will stop and the headset position will reset to the default parameters. This API resumes location sharing and restores the headset position using the latest available location sharing data after you reopen the application.
string key = "PLAYER00CheckMA";
uint RETURN_SIZE = 256;
IntPtr value = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(new IntPtr(RETURN_SIZE));
Interop.WVR_GetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key), value, RETURN_SIZE);
string polling_value = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(value);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(value);
if (string.Compare(polling_value, "CTdone") == 0)
{
key = "ClearRecenterXform";
Interop.WVR_SetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_HMD, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key));
Interop.WVR_SetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_Controller_Right, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key));
Interop.WVR_SetParameters(WVR_DeviceType.WVR_DeviceType_Controller_Left, Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(key));
