Goals
- Hold a super set of the semantic spaces that OpenXR requires, local, stage, unbounded, etc...
- Allow devices to be attached to other devices.
- Generating events when a space is moved, dealing with the requirement that the move only happens after a certain time in the future.
- Make the internal graph be simple and non-cyclic.
- No bi-directional links.
- Always have a root object.
Overall design
The xrt_space
object is fairly straight forward, it's a space. Some have semantic meaning like local, stage, unbounded. The xrt_space_overseer
object is where most of the interesting things happens. By having a separate object where functionality is implemented we can handle things like: different sessions with different spaces, have a object that space events comes from. It also makes it easier for the IPC layer to implement it.
Issues & questions
- Where do space events come from?
- UNRESOLVED: Probably will come from the space overseer.
- Do we map all spaces one to one, like the each
XrSpace
with an offset gets backed with an xrt_space
. There is going to be a limit on spaces from the point of view of the IPC layer, do we create some of them locally?
- RESOLVED: While you can create a offset
xrt_space
, the offsets from from the XrSpace
s are not expressed as an xrt_space
this is to reduce the number of spaces created.
- For the IPC gap do we mirror the entire space graph between the app side and the service side. Or is it enough to only expose the spaces/nodes a app needs and keep all of the links on the service side only.
- RESOLVED: The graph is kept opaque from the application (and all other parts of Monado, an space overseer has greater freedom in how to configure the space graph).
