### Can access Oculus Pro sensors from a background process even if a closed-source software using t
I heard the following through chatGPT.
(This is a summary after several conversations.)

Depends on how the closed-source software, such as "Meta Horizon", is accessing the sensors. If the software is using the Oculus Mobile SDK or another SDK (like Oculus Mobile OpenXR SDK) that exposes the sensors to the operating system, then it is possible to access the sensors from a background process.
(This is because when using the SDK, data is received from the operating system, unlike accessing the system with exclusive access.)
However, if the software is directly accessing the sensors at a low level, it is not possible to access the sensors from another process without modifying the closed-source software.
In this case, developer develop their contents or application themselves. They will need to design your app as a multi-process application, where the main application is running on the foreground and a background process is running in parallel with it. The background process can communicate with the main process using IPC (Inter-Process Communication) mechanisms. (In this way, it is possible to access sensor data separately in the background.)

Can you please tell me if this information is correct? I've been searching a lot for a source for this information or something like that, but I can't find it...
