This section describes the events that are listened for by the "xrweb" A-Frame component.
You can emit these events in your web application to perform various actions:
| Event Listener | Description |
|---|---|
| hidecamerafeed | Hides the camera feed. Tracking does not stop. |
| recenter | Recenters the camera feed to its origin. If a new origin is provided as an argument, the camera's origin will be reset to that, then it will recenter. |
| screenshotrequest | Emits a request to the engine to capture a screenshot of the AFrame canvas. The engine will emit a screenshotready event with the JPEG compressed image or screenshoterror if an error has occurred. |
| showcamerafeed | Shows the camera feed. |
| stopxr | Stop the current XR session. While stopped, the camera feed is stopped and device motion is not tracked. |
