In my application I have set up spatial mapping and everything works fine. I can process on the retrieved map to build out the things I need for my application. But how do I go about making the mapping persistent (OpenXR) ? I want the users to be able to scan the environment only once unless there is any change in the environment. I would also require this map to be shared later on when I make it multiplayer.
There is not a built-in way to have a mesh of a space persist. I have notified our voice of customer team about this, though.
However it is possible to serialize a mesh in unity, save it as a binary file and load it. Here is an example. You can save whatever information is relevant from the mesh.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
using UnityEngine;
[Serializable]
public class SerializableMesh
{
public Vector3[] vertices;
public int[] triangles;
// Add other relevant mesh data (normals, UVs, etc.) as needed.
}
public static class MeshSaver
{
public static void SaveMesh(Mesh mesh, string filename)
{
var serializableMesh = new SerializableMesh
{
vertices = mesh.vertices,
triangles = mesh.triangles
// Add other relevant mesh data here.
};
string path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, filename);
using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create))
{
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
formatter.Serialize(fileStream, serializableMesh);
}
}
public static Mesh LoadMesh(string filename)
{
string path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, filename);
if (File.Exists(path))
{
using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open))
{
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
var loadedMesh = (SerializableMesh)formatter.Deserialize(fileStream);
var mesh = new Mesh
{
vertices = loadedMesh.vertices,
triangles = loadedMesh.triangles
// Set other relevant mesh data here.
};
return mesh;
}
}
else
{
Debug.LogWarning($"Mesh file '{filename}' not found.");
return null;
}
}
}
You can then use spatial anchors to align the deserialized mesh with the space.
Let me know if this helps.
Best,
El
Thankyou for the reply !
Spatial anchors is what I had in mind as well.. Serializing the mesh and then storing it and loading it relative to the spatial anchor. But the problem was that when I ran the example code in the openxr spatial anchor storage example I was getting errors on load up (SpaceNotLocatableEXT) and when placing and deleting spatial anchors. I will update this reply with the exact error logs once I test again.
Side question, Would storing and loading the mesh relative to the spatial anchor be accurate ? will the mesh be correctly aligned lets say 30 meters from the spatial anchor ?

Before using Spatial anchors, you will need to map your space using the Spaces Application. This app is on your device’s home menu.
Once you map a space, the device will localize into it, and continue to localize and refine it’s position as you move around. The magically assumes the space is rigid, based on your description, you will be able to attach content to a single anchor and it will remain stable.
(Note: Multiple anchors may help when using AR Cloud and mapping very large locations.)
If the device is powered off, it will try to localize into the previously selected space.
You can learn more about the Localization map API here:
Once you are localized you can the. Use the spatial anchor API to make content persist.
—
We recently released a demo project that demonstrates how to align large meshes to a physical space. The sample uses multiple points to aid with the initial alignment and can also help if the virtual content is slightly larger or smaller than the physical space.
Thankyou for the detailed reply 
I had actually created a local space in the spaces app and localised into it, so I wonder what the issue could have been with the example script. I will delete the local space that I had made earlier and create one again and retry the example script. I will update here once I do so.
And thanks a lot for linking the example git, I will go through it !
Okay so the code in spatial anchor storage example (openXR) is buggy.
- The CreateAnchor function was not waiting for the ARAnchors' trackingState to be set to TrackingState.Tracking, it was always TrackingState.None inside the CreateAnchor function and therefore I get the error "PublishSpatialAnchorsToStorage sent an empty list of AnchorIds."
This was solved by simply making CreateAnchor function a coroutine and waiting for the tracking state to be set to Tracking.
Now I can create new anchors, I can see them inside the spaces app(meaning that they are being published).
-
On reloading my application, the spatial anchors from the storage are not being retrieved. I have attached the listeners needed to the MagicLeapSpatialAnchorsStorageFeature but the callbacks are not being called. As in the example script, I am calling the ReadAnchor function when the scene is loaded (after waiting for all the subsystems to be loaded). The QueryStoredSpatialAnchors is called within the ReadAnchor function, but the callback, OnQueryComplete is not being called.
-
The callbacks are not being called for other actions as well like OnPublishComplete.
Am I missing something ? or is the code in the documentation really buggy ?
Ok, so I noticed that the spatial anchor storage documentation was only added in the may 14th documentation. So I checked the release notes of 1.7, but spatial anchor storage was not mentioned. I decided to update the OS anyways (I was on 1.6) . On testing after the update, the app launched and it was the same as before, the callbacks weren't being called.
I hadn't updated the unity sdk to 2.2, so I updated that in package manager. I opened the magic leap hub's package installer to find some updates available for c sdk, unity package, etc. I updated all of them just to be sure. Now when I take a build, the app immediately crashes 
I can no longer take any builds and run it. It always crashes back to the home screen immediately after launching the application.
I have uploaded the crash log
Ps : I also tried going back to the previous unity sdk and also downgraded the packages on ml hub back to how it used to be, but even still its crashing...

Could use some help here
Hi @shijin,
I will be happy to help you out. Could you please provide me with a little more information. Could you post some screenshots of your scene hierarchy, as well as your permissions, XR plugin management, and OpenXR settings please. Also the modified version of the example just so I can recreate what you are seeing.
Thank you,
-Sidney
Hey @sfernandez
The current problem is that my build crashes.. (after the update to unity sdk 2.2 from 2.1, c sdk to 1.7 from 1.6). OS update from 1.6 to 1.7 on the magic leap headset was done first and the build had no crash issue, it was after the update of the unity package and c sdk that the crashes started. I wouldn't even get to the "Made with Unity "screen before crashing.
The issue with the spatial anchor storage could have stemmed from the outdated unity package or c sdk, but since I can't take a build that doesn't crash anymore, I am unable to say. Even an empty scene build from the same project crashes. ( I haven't tried creating a new project and building to ml yet)
The information you asked for seems to be regarding the spatial anchor storage problem, could you please confirm what all you need for the crashing issue ? (I have already uploaded the crash log in my previous post)
PS : Should I create a new thread for the crashing issue ?
Hi,
I am trying to debug both issues. As for the crash see if doing a "reimport all" fixes the issue, the crash log looked like there was an internal vulkan error. I would also try removing the app from the device before making a new build.
-Sidney
Okay, I created a new ML project and set it up, I am able to take and run builds without crashing from that project.
I also did a "Reimport All", still crashing.

Just copied over the SpatialAnchorExample.cs code that I posted above in the new test project (doesn't crash in the new project) and took a build, still the same issue, callbacks are not being called. I checked spaces app to verify if the anchors are being stored... and they are.
Thank you,
I will do some testing and get back to you as soon as I can.

Ok, I have some answers.
I copied the scripts you have above, and there are 2 issues.
- inside of
OnBumperthe last line readsCreateAnchor(newAnchor);and it should readStartCoroutine(CreateAnchor(newAnchor)); - The anchor prefab held by the anchor manager needs to have an ARAnchor component on it. If you are using the default one from the ARFoundation package it does not contain this.
You must copy the prefab into a folder outside of packages and add on the ARAnchor component
After I made those two changes I had no problem saving and loading the markers.
I hope that helps,
-Sidney
Thanks for the response !
-
Oh wow, I totally missed changing it to StartCoroutine, my bad.. (weird how I was able to see the anchors created inside the spaces app tho)
-
Iam using a custom ARAnchor Prefab and it does have an ARAnchor attached to it
I'll change it to startcoroutine and test and get back to you

Just tested after changing it to startcoroutine and it works ! (In the new test project)
The build from the main project just keeps crashing... any ideas why on that front ?
Ps : I am curious why the anchors created were being shown in the spaces application when I was starting the coroutine like a method...
