QR codes for Spatial Alignment

You can use QR codes as anchors for Spatial Alignment in the Gravity Sketch app on Meta Quest.

Use Spatial Alignment to lock your Virtual Room to your Physical Space in passthrough. 

Create an Alignment from the “Spatial Alignment” tab in the “Environment” menu, using either your Meta headset (expires after 30 days) or a QR code. Alignments are shared and available to anyone in the same Room and Space.

Spatial Alignment with QR codes is currently supported on Meta Quest 3 and 3S only.

Using Spatial Alignment with QR codes

To create a new Spatial Alignment:

  1. Place one QR code in your physical space, either printed or onscreen. 100% scale is recommended

  2. Open Gravity Sketch on your Meta Quest, then open a Room and enable passthrough

  3. Look at the QR code to detect it, then hover with your controller and click the button to create a new Alignment

To use an existing Spatial Alignment:

  1. Open Gravity Sketch on your Meta Quest, then open a Room and enable passthrough

  2. Find a QR code associated with an existing Alignment.

  3. Look at the QR code to detect it, then hover with your controller and click the button to align to your physical space.


Please note:

  • To keep an alignment consistent, QR codes must remain in the same position in your physical space

  • Spatial Alignment with QR codes is currently supported on Meta Quest 3 and 3S only

FAQs

What QR code format, size, and content is supported?

Any standard QR code is supported, up to and including version 10.

Micro QR codes, alternative code formats (such as AprilTags), and QR codes with customised designs (such as logos or non-standard styles) are not supported.

QR codes should be relatively large (150mm x 150mm recommended) and positioned close to the device in a well-lit environment.

QR codes can contain any content, but a short number or text string is recommended. To keep an alignment consistent, QR codes must remain in the same position in your physical space.

How many QR codes can be used?

Each Spatial Alignment can use 1 unique QR code, which acts as an anchor to lock and position virtual content in your physical space.

A Room can contain multiple Spatial Alignments, but each Alignment can only use 1 QR code.

How can I find QR codes to use?

You can find a PDF containing QR codes to use for Spatial Alignment here:

Download “Gravity Sketch - Spatial Alignment QR codes.pdf”

You can alternatively use your own QR codes.

Can I scan a QR code to open a Room?

No, you must open a Room in Gravity Sketch first. Once the Room has loaded, enable passthrough and look around to detect QR codes.
