MobileVRInterface Class

This is a generic mobile VR implementation where you need to provide details about the phone and HMD used. It does not rely on any existing framework. This is the most basic interface we have. For the best effect, you need a mobile phone with a gyroscope and accelerometer.

Note that even though there is no positional tracking, the camera will assume the headset is at a height of 1.85 meters. You can change this by setting EyeHeight.

You can initialise this interface as follows:

var interface = ARVRServer.find_interface("Native mobile")
if interface and interface.initialize():
    get_viewport().arvr = true

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyArIsAnchorDetectionEnabled

On an AR interface, true if anchor detection is enabled.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public propertyDisplayToLens

The distance between the display and the lenses inside of the device in centimeters.

Public propertyDisplayWidth

The width of the display in centimeters.

Public propertyDynamicObject
Gets a new DynamicGodotObject associated with this instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public propertyEyeHeight

The height at which the camera is placed in relation to the ground (i.e. ARVROrigin node).

Public propertyInterfaceIsInitialized

true if this interface been initialized.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public propertyInterfaceIsPrimary

true if this is the primary interface.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public propertyIod

The interocular distance, also known as the interpupillary distance. The distance between the pupils of the left and right eye.

Public propertyK1

The k1 lens factor is one of the two constants that define the strength of the lens used and directly influences the lens distortion effect.

Public propertyK2

The k2 lens factor, see k1.

Public propertyNativeInstance (Inherited from Object.)
Public propertyOversample

The oversample setting. Because of the lens distortion we have to render our buffers at a higher resolution then the screen can natively handle. A value between 1.5 and 2.0 often provides good results but at the cost of performance.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public method_Get

Virtual method which can be overridden to customize the return value of Get(String).

Returns the given property. Returns null if the property does not exist.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public method_GetPropertyList

Virtual method which can be overridden to customize the return value of GetPropertyList.

Returns the object's property list as an Array of dictionaries.

Each property's Dictionary must contain at least name: String and type: int (see VariantType) entries. Optionally, it can also include hint: int (see PropertyHint), hint_string: String, and usage: int (see PropertyUsageFlags).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public method_Notification

Called whenever the object receives a notification, which is identified in what by a constant. The base Object has two constants and , but subclasses such as Node define a lot more notifications which are also received by this method.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public method_Set

Virtual method which can be overridden to customize the return value of Set(String, Object).

Sets a property. Returns true if the property exists.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodAddUserSignal

Adds a user-defined signal. Arguments are optional, but can be added as an Array of dictionaries, each containing name: String and type: int (see VariantType) entries.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCall

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

call("set", "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0))

Note: In C#, the method name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined methods where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCallDeferred

Calls the method on the object during idle time. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

call_deferred("set", "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0))

Note: In C#, the method name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined methods where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCallv

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. Contrarily to Call(String, Object), this method does not support a variable number of arguments but expects all parameters to be via a single Array.

callv("set", [ "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0) ])

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCanTranslateMessages

Returns true if the object can translate strings. See SetMessageTranslation(Boolean) and Tr(String).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodConnect

Connects a signal to a method on a target object. Pass optional binds to the call as an Array of parameters. These parameters will be passed to the method after any parameter used in the call to EmitSignal(String, Object). Use flags to set deferred or one-shot connections. See ObjectConnectFlags constants.

A signal can only be connected once to a method. It will throw an error if already connected, unless the signal was connected with . To avoid this, first, use IsConnected(String, Object, String) to check for existing connections.

If the target is destroyed in the game's lifecycle, the connection will be lost.

Examples:

connect("pressed", self, "_on_Button_pressed") # BaseButton signal
connect("text_entered", self, "_on_LineEdit_text_entered") # LineEdit signal
connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # User-defined signal

An example of the relationship between binds passed to Connect(String, Object, String, Array, UInt32) and parameters used when calling EmitSignal(String, Object):

connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # weapon_type and damage are passed last
emit_signal("hit", "Dark lord", 5) # "Dark lord" and 5 are passed first
func _on_Player_hit(hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage):
    print("Hit by %s (lvl %d) with weapon %s for %d damage" % [hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage])

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodDisconnect

Disconnects a signal from a method on the given target.

If you try to disconnect a connection that does not exist, the method will throw an error. Use IsConnected(String, Object, String) to ensure that the connection exists.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodDispose (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodDispose(Boolean) (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodEmitSignal

Emits the given signal. The signal must exist, so it should be a built-in signal of this class or one of its parent classes, or a user-defined signal. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

emit_signal("hit", weapon_type, damage)
emit_signal("game_over")

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodEquals (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodFree

Deletes the object from memory immediately. For Nodes, you may want to use QueueFree to queue the node for safe deletion at the end of the current frame.

Important: If you have a variable pointing to an object, it will not be assigned to null once the object is freed. Instead, it will point to a previously freed instance and you should validate it with @GDScript.is_instance_valid before attempting to call its methods or access its properties.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGet

Returns the Variant value of the given property. If the property doesn't exist, this will return null.

Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetAnchorDetectionIsEnabled Obsolete. (Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodGetCameraFeedId

If this is an AR interface that requires displaying a camera feed as the background, this method returns the feed ID in the CameraServer for this interface.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodGetCapabilities

Returns a combination of ARVRInterfaceCapabilities flags providing information about the capabilities of this interface.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodGetClass

Returns the object's class as a String.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetDisplayToLens Obsolete.
Public methodGetDisplayWidth Obsolete.
Public methodGetEyeHeight Obsolete.
Public methodGetHashCode (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetIncomingConnections

Returns an Array of dictionaries with information about signals that are connected to the object.

Each Dictionary contains three String entries:

- source is a reference to the signal emitter.

- signal_name is the name of the connected signal.

- method_name is the name of the method to which the signal is connected.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetIndexed

Gets the object's property indexed by the given NodePath. The node path should be relative to the current object and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties. Examples: "position:x" or "material:next_pass:blend_mode".

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetInstanceId

Returns the object's unique instance ID.

This ID can be saved in EncodedObjectAsID, and can be used to retrieve the object instance with @GDScript.instance_from_id.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetIod Obsolete.
Public methodGetK1 Obsolete.
Public methodGetK2 Obsolete.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodGetOversample Obsolete.
Public methodGetPropertyList

Returns the object's property list as an Array of dictionaries.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodHasUserSignal

Returns true if the given user-defined signal exists. Only signals added using AddUserSignal(String, Array) are taken into account.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodInitialize

Call this to initialize this interface. The first interface that is initialized is identified as the primary interface and it will be used for rendering output.

After initializing the interface you want to use you then need to enable the AR/VR mode of a viewport and rendering should commence.

Note: You must enable the AR/VR mode on the main viewport for any device that uses the main output of Godot, such as for mobile VR.

If you do this for a platform that handles its own output (such as OpenVR) Godot will show just one eye without distortion on screen. Alternatively, you can add a separate viewport node to your scene and enable AR/VR on that viewport. It will be used to output to the HMD, leaving you free to do anything you like in the main window, such as using a separate camera as a spectator camera or rendering something completely different.

While currently not used, you can activate additional interfaces. You may wish to do this if you want to track controllers from other platforms. However, at this point in time only one interface can render to an HMD.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodInitRef

Initializes the internal reference counter. Use this only if you really know what you are doing.

Returns whether the initialization was successful.

(Inherited from Reference.)
Public methodIsBlockingSignals

Returns true if signal emission blocking is enabled.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodIsClass

Returns true if the object inherits from the given class.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodIsInitialized Obsolete. (Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodIsPrimary Obsolete. (Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodIsQueuedForDeletion (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodIsStereo

Returns true if the current output of this interface is in stereo.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodNotification

Send a given notification to the object, which will also trigger a call to the _Notification(Int32) method of all classes that the object inherits from.

If reversed is true, _Notification(Int32) is called first on the object's own class, and then up to its successive parent classes. If reversed is false, _Notification(Int32) is called first on the highest ancestor (Object itself), and then down to its successive inheriting classes.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodPropertyListChangedNotify

Notify the editor that the property list has changed, so that editor plugins can take the new values into account. Does nothing on export builds.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodReference_

Increments the internal reference counter. Use this only if you really know what you are doing.

Returns true if the increment was successful, false otherwise.

(Inherited from Reference.)
Public methodRemoveMeta

Removes a given entry from the object's metadata. See also SetMeta(String, Object).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSet

Assigns a new value to the given property. If the property does not exist, nothing will happen.

Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSetAnchorDetectionIsEnabled Obsolete. (Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodSetBlockSignals

If set to true, signal emission is blocked.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSetDeferred

Assigns a new value to the given property, after the current frame's physics step. This is equivalent to calling Set(String, Object) via CallDeferred(String, Object), i.e. call_deferred("set", property, value).

Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSetDisplayToLens Obsolete.
Public methodSetDisplayWidth Obsolete.
Public methodSetEyeHeight Obsolete.
Public methodSetIndexed

Assigns a new value to the property identified by the NodePath. The node path should be relative to the current object and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties. Example:

set_indexed("position", Vector2(42, 0))
set_indexed("position:y", -10)
print(position) # (42, -10)

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSetIod Obsolete.
Public methodSetIsInitialized Obsolete. (Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodSetIsPrimary Obsolete. (Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodSetK1 Obsolete.
Public methodSetK2 Obsolete.
Public methodSetMessageTranslation

Defines whether the object can translate strings (with calls to Tr(String)). Enabled by default.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSetMeta

Adds, changes or removes a given entry in the object's metadata. Metadata are serialized and can take any Variant value.

To remove a given entry from the object's metadata, use RemoveMeta(String). Metadata is also removed if its value is set to null. This means you can also use set_meta("name", null) to remove metadata for "name".

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSetOversample Obsolete.
Public methodSetScript

Assigns a script to the object. Each object can have a single script assigned to it, which are used to extend its functionality.

If the object already had a script, the previous script instance will be freed and its variables and state will be lost. The new script's method will be called.

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCode exampleToSignal
Returns a new SignalAwaiter awaiter configured to complete when the instance source emits the signal specified by the signal parameter.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodToString (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodTr

Translates a message using translation catalogs configured in the Project Settings.

Only works if message translation is enabled (which it is by default), otherwise it returns the message unchanged. See SetMessageTranslation(Boolean).

(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodUninitialize

Turns the interface off.

(Inherited from ARVRInterface.)
Public methodUnreference

Decrements the internal reference counter. Use this only if you really know what you are doing.

Returns true if the decrement was successful, false otherwise.
