App Icon - 3D Depth effect on hover

Hey! I just updated my Meta Quest and noticed the new navigator has a cool 3D depth effect when you hover over the apps.

I want to achieve similar effect for my app. Is there any documentation to achieve this in Unity?

Thank you very much.

    That 3D hover/parallax is part of the system UI (Quest launcher/compositor). It’s automatically applied to your app icon if it meets Meta’s asset specs.

    What you can do:

    • Provide a high-quality icon with depth cues (foreground/background separation, shadows)
    • Follow Meta’s icon guidelines (safe area, layers, contrast)
