Camera (Passthrough)

The Meta Quest Camera (Passthrough) feature controls Meta Passthrough, a device capability that captures real-time images of the physical environment and renders them to screen. Your app can use Passthrough to give the user a view of their surroundings while wearing a headset, enabling them to safely move through their space while using your app.

As an AR Foundation provider plug-in, this package implements Passthrough via AR Foundation's camera subsystem, and this page is a supplement to the AR Foundation Camera manual. The following topics only contains information about Meta Quest-specific behavior.

Tip

When developing an AR app, refer to both the AR Foundation documentation as well as the required packages for each platform you support.
