Add extra thermal cameras to Quest 3
Hello everyone! I would like to know if it is possible to add extra cameras to the Quest 3 headset.
The idea is to add two small thermal cameras to the front of the headset, to obtain a passthrough with night vision. It would be an extra layer of information that helps RGB cameras see in complete darkness.
Initially I think of gluing the thermal cameras to the front of the viewfinder, and connecting them by cable to a cell phone, where it obtains electrical power and image processing. Then that image should go from the cell phone to the Quest 3 wirelessly.
I was analyzing the documentation, and I think this could be done through the Passthrough.API, Android Camera2.API, your opinion on this would be very useful.
I am a person with a visual condition called retinitis pigmentosa, which causes night blindness and decreased peripheral visual field. Therefore, it would be miraculous for me (and for many others), to be able to have night vision, but also assistance for low vision, such as contouring people, objects, steps, obstacles and all kinds of dangers.
Thank you very much for your time.
And thank you very much to META for giving us this wonderful technology that improves our lives in many ways. And also for opening the passthrough code!!
