Difference between getController(id) and getControllerGrip(id)

Questions
#1

In the WebXRManager, what’s the difference between getController() and getControllerGrip()? They both seem to give me an Object3D with position data of the controllers getting updated. Just curious so I know if I should prefer to use one over the other in different situations

Thanks,

What a coincidence! I’ve added more documentation about WebXRManager just yesterday! It actually explains the difference between both methods. Here is a link to the dev version of it:

Ah awesome, thanks a bunch! The documentation does a good job of explaining when to use which. I was still a little confused on the “why” aspect of this as I didn’t understand how exactly target ray space and grip space were different, but that led to looking at the WebXR Device API itself for those definitions which cleared things up
