Internet Engineering Task Force L.R. van Kammen
Internet-Draft 7 September 2023
Intended status: Informational
XR Macros
draft-XRMACROS-leonvankammen-00
Abstract
This draft offers a specification for embedding macros in existing 3D
scenes/assets, to offer simple interactions and configure the
renderer further.
Together with URI Fragments, it allows for rich immersive experiences
without the need of a complicated sandboxed scripting languages.
Almost every idea in this document is demonstrated at
https://xrfragment.org (https://xrfragment.org), as this spec was
created during the XR Fragments (https://xrfragment.org) spec.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-
Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months

material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

1. Introduction
How can we add more features to existing text & 3D scenes, without
introducing new dataformats?
Historically, there's many attempts to create the ultimate
markuplanguage or 3D fileformat.
Their lowest common denominator is: (co)authoring using plain text.
Therefore, XR Macros allows us to enrich/connect existing
dataformats, by offering a polyglot notation based on existing
notations:
1. getting/setting common used 3D properties using querystring- or
JSON-notation
2. querying 3D properties using the lightweight searchengine
notation used in XR Fragments (https://xrfragment.org)
| NOTE: The chapters in this document are ordered from highlevel to
| lowlevel (technical) as much as possible
2. Core principle
1. XR Macros use querystrings, but are HTML-agnostic (though pseudo-
XR Fragment browsers *can* be implemented on top of HTML/
Javascript).
2. XR Macros represents setting/getting common used properties found
in all popular 3D frameworks/(game)editors/internet browsers.
3. XR Macros acts as simple eventhandlers for URI Fragments

3. Conventions and Definitions
See appendix below in case certain terms are not clear.
4. List of XR Macros
(XR) Macros can be embedded in 3D assets/scenes.
Macros enrich existing spatial content with a lowcode, limited logic-
layer, by recursive (economic) use of the querystring syntax (which
search engines and XR Fragments (https://xrfragment.org) already
uses.
This is done by allowing string/integer variables, and the | symbol
to roundrobin variable values.
Macros also act as events, so more serious scripting languages can
react to them as well.
4.1. Usecase: click object
+=================+================+================+
| custom property | value | trigger when |
+=================+================+================+
| !clickme | bg=1,1,1&foo=2 | object clicked |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
Table 1
4.2. Usecase: conditional click object
+=================+==================+============================+
| custom property | value | trigger when |
+=================+==================+============================+
| # | foo=1 | scene |
+-----------------+------------------+----------------------------+
| !clickme | q=foo>2&bg=1,1,1 | object clicked and foo > 2 |
+-----------------+------------------+----------------------------+
Table 2
| when a user clicks an object with the custom properties above, it
| should set the backgroundcolor to 1,1,1 when foo is greater than 2
| (see previous example)

Internet-Draft XR Macros September 2023
4.3. Usecase: click object (roundrobin)
+=================+================+================+
| custom property | value | trigger when |
+=================+================+================+
| !clickme | day|noon|night | object clicked |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| day | bg=1,1,1 | roundrobin |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| noon | bg=0.5,0.5,0.5 | roundrobin |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| night | bg=0,0,0&foo=2 | roundrobin |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
Table 3
| when a user clicks an object with the custom properties above, it
| should trigger either day noon or night in roundrobin fashion.
4.4. Usecase: click object, URI fragment and scene load
+=================+================+======================+
| custom property | value | trigger when |
+=================+================+======================+
| # | random | scene loaded |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------------+
| #random | random | URL contains #random |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------------+
| !random | day|noon|night | #random, # or click |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------------+
| day | bg=1,1,1 | roundrobin |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------------+
| noon | bg=0.5,0.5,0.5 | roundrobin |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------------+
| night | bg=0,0,0&foo=2 | roundrobin |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------------+
Table 4
4.5. Usecase: present context menu with options
+=================+================+========================+
| custom property | value | trigger when |
+=================+================+========================+
| !random | day | noon |
+-----------------+----------------+------------------------+
| !day | bg=1,1,1 | clicked in contextmenu |
+-----------------+----------------+------------------------+

Internet-Draft XR Macros September 2023
| !noon | bg=0.5,0.5,0.5 | clicked in contextmenu |
+-----------------+----------------+------------------------+
| !night | bg=0,0,0&foo=2 | clicked in contextmenu |
+-----------------+----------------+------------------------+
Table 5
| The XR Browser should offer a contextmenu with these options when
| more than one !-macro is present on an object.

| scene | a (local/remote) 3D scene or 3D file |
| | (index.gltf e.g.) |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 3D object | an object inside a scene characterized by |
| | vertex-, face- and customproperty data. |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| XR fragments | URI Fragment with spatial hints like |
| | #pos=0,0,0&t=1,100 e.g. |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| query | an URI Fragment-operator which queries |
| | object(s) from a scene like #q=cube |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| FPS | frames per second in spatial experiences |
| | (games,VR,AR e.g.), should be as high as |
| | possible |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| ◻ | ascii representation of an 3D object/mesh |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| (un)obtrusive | obtrusive: wrapping human text/thought in |
| | XML/HTML/JSON obfuscates human text into |
| | a salad of machine-symbols and words |
