The WebXR event squeezeend is sent to an XRSession when one of its input sources ends its primary action or when an input source that's in the process of handling an ongoing primary action is disconnected without successfully completing the action.
Primary squeeze actions include things like users pressing triggers or buttons, tapping a touchpad, speaking a command, or performing a recognizable gesture when using a video tracking system or handheld controller with an accelerometer.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("squeezeend", (event) => { })
onsqueezeend = (event) => { }
Event type
An XRInputSourceEvent. Inherits from Event.
Description
Trigger
Triggered when users stop squeezing the controller, making a hand gesture that mimes grabbing something, or using (squeezing) a trigger.
Use cases
The squeezestart event is sent indicating that the user has begun a squeeze action.
If the primary squeeze action ends successfully, the session is sent a squeeze event.
A squeezeend event is sent to indicate that the squeeze action is no longer underway. This is sent whether the squeeze action succeeded or not.
Examples
See the squeezestart event for example code.
