Meta quest 3S night vision

Yes, you read that right! The meta quest 3S is capable of night vision.

It has infrared cameras and infrared illuminators, making it perfect for night vision. Only thing is I can't find out how to see through the infrared cameras.

You can test this yourself by using the space setup feature in pitch black darkness, and it will still work perfectly, allowing you to traverse the room slowly as the scan occurs, even while you can't see your hand in front of your face!

I have looked for games and apps that utilise your space to show a different vision mode like Espire 2's espire vision in mixed reality, but this still needs light and is more like a filter, instead of giving you a visual representation of your scanned rooms 

So long story short is, is there a way to either see through your infrared cameras, which would make this full blown night vision goggles, or to use the scan of your room to give you a visual representation of your space, for example a wireframe of your space while you are in it in complete darkness, effectively allowing you to "see" in the dark, since the goggles certainly can and will track your movements in the environment, allowing you to traverse it in darkness. I hope I explained that sufficiently. 

So yeah, let me know if you know any apps/developer options that either let you use the infrared cameras to see or to give you a "stylised" 3d representation of your space in mixed reality
