Meta's Quest headset now allows developers to publicly release apps that use the front-facing cameras for scanning the real world.
Access to Passthrough Camera API for Quest enables third-party apps to utilize computer vision for object tracking, environment mapping, and interaction.
Meta has lifted restrictions on developers accessing the headset's cameras, which were initially limited due to privacy concerns.
Developers can now access camera data with specified technical capabilities on Quest 3 and 3S, subject to Meta's Developer Data Use Policy.
