+
+## Using the new XR UI
+
+You can now start XR sessions directly from the Phoenix UI:
+
+- In dat.GUI: open the `XR` folder and click `Enter VR` or `Enter AR`. Use `AR DOM overlay` to show Phoenix overlays on top of the AR scene, and `Exit XR` to leave.
+- In the Phoenix menu: open the `XR` section and use the same actions (`Enter VR`, `Enter AR`, `AR DOM overlay`, `Exit XR`).
+- In the Angular app UI: the top UI menu includes `VR` and `AR` toggles that call into the same XR session handlers.
+
+Notes:
+- WebXR requires a compatible browser/device and HTTPS. When developing locally, use the SSL start script above.
+- AR scales the scene down and reduces camera near to suit real-world scale. Exiting AR restores previous values automatically.

+# Track Extension to Radius
+
+## Overview
+
+Phoenix supports optionally extending tracks with measured hits out to a specified transverse radius using Runge-Kutta propagation. This feature addresses issue #177 and allows tracks that already have measurements (e.g., `CombinedInDetTracks`) to be extended so they reach the calorimeter region, similar to tracks without measurements that are automatically propagated.
+
+## User Interface
+
+The extension feature is available on a **per-collection basis** through both the dat.GUI menu and Phoenix menu.
+
+### dat.GUI
+
+For each track collection, you'll find:
+- **Extend to radius** (checkbox): Toggle to enable/disable track extension
+- **Radius** (slider, 100-5000 mm): Set the target transverse radius
+
+### Phoenix Menu
+
+Under each track collection's "Draw Options":
+- **Extend to radius** (checkbox): Toggle extension on/off
+- **Extend radius** (slider, 100-5000 mm): Configure target radius
+
+Changes take effect immediately — toggling or adjusting the radius rebuilds the track geometries in the scene.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### RKHelper
+
+A new method `RKHelper.extrapolateFromLastPosition(track, radius)` extrapolates from the last measured hit outward until the track reaches the specified transverse radius (or propagation limits are hit).
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `track`: Track object with `pos` (measured hits) and `dparams` (track parameters)
+- `radius`: Target transverse radius in mm
+
+**Returns:** Array of additional position points `[x, y, z][]` (does not include the last measured point)
+
+### SceneManager
+
+The `SceneManager.extendCollectionTracks(collectionName, radius, enable)` method applies extension to all tracks in a collection:
+
+1. Retrieves the collection group from EventData
+2. For each track:
+   - Calls `RKHelper.extrapolateFromLastPosition` if enabled
+   - Rebuilds the tube and line geometries using measured + extrapolated points
+   - Persists extension state in `userData`:
+     - `extendedToRadius`: boolean (enabled/disabled)
+     - `extendRadius`: number (radius in mm)
+     - `extendedPos`: number[][] (array of extrapolated points)
+
+**Note:** The original `track.pos` array is never modified — extrapolated points are stored separately.
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+For collections with thousands of tracks:
+- **Throttling**: Consider debouncing UI slider changes (e.g., only apply on `onFinishChange`)
+- **Worker threads**: For very large datasets, compute extrapolation in a Web Worker to avoid blocking the main thread
+- **Current implementation**: Uses synchronous RK propagation; suitable for typical event sizes (< 1000 tracks per collection)
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```typescript
+// Enable extension for "CombinedInDetTracks" collection to 1500 mm radius
+sceneManager.extendCollectionTracks('CombinedInDetTracks', 1500, true);
+
+// Disable extension (revert to measured-only)
+sceneManager.extendCollectionTracks('CombinedInDetTracks', 1500, false);
+
+// Access extension state
+const trackGroup = collection.children[0];
+const params = trackGroup.userData;
+if (params.extendedToRadius) {
+  console.log(`Extended to ${params.extendRadius} mm`);
+  console.log(`Extrapolated points:`, params.extendedPos);
+}
+```
