Creating an anchor from a hit test result
The following example starts with an XRHitTestResult retrieved by calling XRFrame.getHitTestResults(). After calling createAnchor(), the Promise resolves with an XRAnchor to attach a virtual object to that location.
hitTestResult.createAnchor().then(
(anchor) => {
// add anchored objects to the scene
},
(error) => {
console.error(`Could not create anchor: ${error}`);
},
);
