@aws-amplify/xr

What is @aws-amplify/xr?

@aws-amplify/xr is a package that provides tools for integrating augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences into web and mobile applications using AWS Amplify. It simplifies the process of adding immersive experiences by leveraging AWS services.

What are @aws-amplify/xr's main functionalities?

Scene Management

This feature allows you to load and manage AR/VR scenes. The code sample demonstrates how to load a scene by specifying the scene name and the DOM element where the scene should be rendered. It also includes a progress callback to monitor the loading progress.

import { XR } from '@aws-amplify/xr';

XR.loadScene('sceneName', 'domElementId', {
  progressCallback: (progress) => {
    console.log(`Loading progress: ${progress}%`);
  }
}).then(() => {
  console.log('Scene loaded successfully');
}).catch((err) => {
  console.error('Error loading scene', err);
});

Object Placement

This feature allows you to place objects within the AR/VR scene. The code sample demonstrates how to add an object by specifying its name, position, and scale.

import { XR } from '@aws-amplify/xr';

XR.addObject('objectName', {
  position: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 },
  scale: { x: 1, y: 1, z: 1 }
}).then(() => {
  console.log('Object added successfully');
}).catch((err) => {
  console.error('Error adding object', err);
});

Event Handling

This feature allows you to handle events within the AR/VR scene. The code sample demonstrates how to set up an event listener for a 'tap' event, which logs the event details when an object is tapped.

import { XR } from '@aws-amplify/xr';

XR.on('tap', (event) => {
  console.log('Object tapped', event);
});

Other packages similar to @aws-amplify/xr

aframe

A-Frame is a web framework for building virtual reality experiences. It is based on HTML and provides a simple way to create 3D and VR scenes. Compared to @aws-amplify/xr, A-Frame is more focused on web-based VR and offers a more extensive set of features for creating complex VR environments.

three

Three.js is a popular JavaScript library for creating 3D graphics in the browser. It provides a wide range of tools for rendering 3D scenes, including support for WebGL. Compared to @aws-amplify/xr, Three.js is more low-level and requires more manual setup, but it offers greater flexibility and control over the 3D rendering process.

react-xr

React-XR is a library for building AR/VR applications using React and Three.js. It provides React components for creating and managing AR/VR scenes. Compared to @aws-amplify/xr, React-XR is more tightly integrated with the React ecosystem and leverages the power of Three.js for rendering.
