Hi XR Developers! Today, we are looking at something you all have been waiting for: Access to the Meta Quest Passthrough Cameras, which just got enabled with Horizon OS v74. This API lets us tap into the raw camera feeds on Quest headsets, opening the door for features like real-time environment sampling, AR overlays, or even object detection.

Additionally to Meta’s Passthrough Camera Samples GitHub repo I also open sourced my experiments with the Passthrough Camera Access in a project called QuestCameraKit. If you are interested in exploring more use cases such as Color Picker, Object Detection, QR Code tracking, and visual effects such as frosted glass shader, feel free to check it out and leave a star!
