Meta Depth API Question

I am trying to understand the accuracy of depth API for quest 3 under different conditions

For that I want to be able to get the distance of the depth hit point from a fixed point let's say the centerEyeAnchor using the MRUK Raycast

My question is where is the centerEyeAnchor placed w.r.t to the physical headset, what I understand is it is the user view so somewhere near the headset lenses, is there a specific number anybody knows or if you can point me to anywhere this offset from the actual physical sensors is mentioned!

Thank You!

    This is something I've also been wondering. What is the exact 'origin' of the headset?

      The best estimate I have is it is 0.045 m above the bottom and 0.08 m inward from the front panel. I just used put the ovrcamerarig to floor level to be origin and then estimated the centereyeanchor cood based on distance from floor.
      But any official number would be so much more useful!!
