Hi everyone, We are trying to show a model in AR and use the hitTest feature to place the model. On the androïd phones we tested, this hitTest demo is working as expected: Babylon.js Playground Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes …

I managed to make it worked thanks to another demo that I found. I will relaunched the topic if needed but it is ok for now :wink: FYI: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#XWBES1#279

In addition: The thing we observe in the playground is that the model is following the viewer but is not placed in front of it on the ground like in the hitTest demo.

Hello guys, I come back to you because of a recent new issue. On this playground, you can see that the model is in front of you: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#XWBES1#285 But once in AR the model is shown with the backside in front of you. Do you know why ?

I don’t know if this is willing or by design that the model is reversed but that would be interesting to know why and if somet…

This is technically expected. This example might explain it: prova | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com) If you look at a model from a negative z (i.e. " from the back") you will see its back :slight_smile: . Hit-testing updates the transformation of the mesh according to the provided matrix com…
