Boundary visibility

The Meta Quest Boundary Visibility feature enables you to suppress the visibility of the boundary so users can move freely with Passthrough enabled.

A Meta Quest 3 screenshot shows a Passthrough image of a room with a system warning displayed. The warning reads, "Return to your boundary"
When boundary visibility isn't suppressed, the system may warn the user when they leave the boundary.

Enable boundary visibility

To enable boundary visibility in your app:

  1. Go to Project Settings > XR Plug-in Management > OpenXR.
  2. Select either the Windows, Mac, Linux settings tab to configure Quest Link on Windows, or the Android settings tab to configure builds.
  3. Under the OpenXR Feature Groups heading, select the Meta Quest feature group.
  4. If disabled, enable the Meta Quest: Boundary Visibility OpenXR feature.

Example code

Refer to the following example code to understand how to suppress boundary visibility:

var feature = OpenXRSettings.Instance.GetFeature<BoundaryVisibilityFeature>();
var result = feature.TryRequestBoundaryVisibility(
    XrBoundaryVisibility.VisibilitySuppressed);

if ((int)result ==
    BoundaryVisibilityFeature.XR_BOUNDARY_VISIBILITY_SUPPRESSION_NOT_ALLOWED_META)
{
    // The runtime did not accept the request to suppress the boundary.
    // Your app must render passthrough to suppress boundary visibility.
}

if (result < 0)
{
    // XrResult values less than zero are errors.
    // Handle error here.
}
