Quest Developers Will Be Able To Access The Passthrough Cameras Next Year
Meta announced at Connect 2024 that it will introduce a camera passthrough API for Quest headsets early next year, enabling developers to create advanced mixed reality experiences. This API will allow for tracked objects, AI applications, scene understanding, and more, enhancing the capabilities of Quest headsets.
Currently, only system and some first-party apps have raw access to the cameras, while third-party developers receive limited data. This contrasts with Apple's visionOS 2, which grants enterprise companies raw camera access for internal apps under a special license.
