Getting hit test results

js

const xrSession = navigator.xr.requestSession("immersive-ar", {
  requiredFeatures: ["local", "hit-test"],
});
let hitTestSource = null;
xrSession
  .requestHitTestSource({
    space: viewerSpace, // obtained from xrSession.requestReferenceSpace("viewer");
    offsetRay: new XRRay({ y: 0.5 }),
  })
  .then((viewerHitTestSource) => {
    hitTestSource = viewerHitTestSource;
  });
// frame loop
function onXRFrame(time, xrFrame) {
  let hitTestResults = xrFrame.getHitTestResults(hitTestSource);
  // do things with the hit test results
}
